RN and LPN Multi-State Privilege Discipline

Please be aware that RN's and LPN's may be practicing in Virginia on a "multi-state privilege" granted to them by virtue of their holding a license in one of the states participating with Virginia in the Nurse Licensure Compact.

No nurse - under a disciplinary order or a consent agreement that limits practice, requires monitoring, or requires an agreement with an alternative program - may practice on a privilege in a Compact state without prior written approval of both the licensing state and the practice state.

Additional information on disciplinary actions taken against privileges and licenses can be found at www.nursys.com. Such actions are reported by all Compact states to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (“NCSBN”) which posts the actions on Nursys, the database of nursing licensure and discipline information maintained by the NCSBN.
