Nursing Regulation– 106 years ago
First nurse practice act in 1903:
NY, NJ, VA, NC Each State Nurse’s Association established to
pass legislation to ensure training based on standardized program
States wrote own examinations; Arizona Board Members were assigned to bring five questions to a meeting for testing purposes

National Council State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN)
Definition Telenursing:
Practice of nursing over distance, using electronic means
Telenursing generally results in nurse having:
direct patient contact & directing care
![Page 8: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
NCSBN Delegate Assembly Actions
1994 – Task Force to Study Regulation
1995 - Telecommunication Task Force to Study Models
1996- Task Force Studies Pro’s/Con’s Models & Impact
1997 - August: Task Force Recommended Mutual Recognition Model
1997 – December: Special Delegate Assembly Meeting Called - Approved Model for Interstate
Compact

Three Policy Goals:
![Page 11: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mutual Recognition
![Page 12: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Panel Legal Experts
Mutual Recognition is workable
Reflects “full faith & credit” among US states/jurisdictions
Can be implemented incrementally
Implementation could begin without uniform requirements
![Page 13: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
First Compact Adopted 1783
Compacts not new
Nurse Licensure Compact One of 200+ Compacts
(Emergency Management; Child Welfare; Water Resources; Parole)
Average Compacts Per State: 27
![Page 14: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Mutual Recognition & Interstate Compact
Black’s Law Dictionary:
Formal agreement between 2 or more states to remedy a problem of mutual concern
Each state enacts the compact through legislation
Affords states the opportunity to develop self regulatory adaptive structure to meet challenges over time
![Page 15: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Compact General Purposes
Facilitate State’s responsibility to protect the public’s health & safety
Ensure & encourage cooperation of party states to hold each party state and nurse accountable
Facilitate the exchange of information between states
Promote compliance with laws governing practice of nursing
![Page 16: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Key Points of the Interstate Compact
Each State Enacts IDENTICAL Compact
Mutual Recognition of those who enact the legislation
Example - Driver’s License Model
![Page 17: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Compacts Are Fully Enforceable Contracts
When enacted, a compact not only constitutes law but a contract which may not be amended, modified or otherwise altered without the consent of all parties
![Page 18: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nurse Licensure Compact Components
![Page 19: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why One License in Primary State of Residence?
Policy decision to enhance public protection while retaining state based authority & reducing administrative burden
Determining state of practice would be challenging in an era of multiple employers, multiple organizational sites beyond borders & through telenursing
Tracking a nurse through primary residence better accomplished than employment link
![Page 20: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Discipline
Complaint filed where violation occurs Complaints in party state are processed &
reported to home state Significant Investigative Data entered if issues rise
to level of summary suspension Party State May Issue Cease and Desist Orders Discipline
Against license – home state Against privilege to practice – home &
party state Affect on alternative programs

June 2006 Gallup Research on Nurse Licensure Compact
NLCA positive about collaboration between states in benefiting the public
88% nurses of 800 nurses surveyed supported the NLC
50% of nurses believed their state was part of the compact even though legislation had not been passed
![Page 34: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
NLCA Major Benefits as Perceived by NLCA Administrators Gallup Research June 2006
Nurses benefited most – particularly traveling nurses
& those practicing telehealth
Nurses have greater flexibility & reduced licensure
fees practicing across state lines
Improved communication & collaboration between
states regarding disciplinary matters
Streamlined licensing procedures & decreased
regulatory barriers
Facilitated hiring process for state employers
![Page 35: Nurse Licensure Compact Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation September 11, 2009 Joey Ridenour RN MN FAAN Executive Director Arizona State Board.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5514a4e655034640138b4aee/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Disadvantages Interstate Compacts
Some states experience long negotiations & arduous course before legislative process is successful
Difficult to get state legislatures to adopt compacts that adhere to the substantial sameness between states
Ceding of traditional state authority makes some states reluctant to join the compact
