U.S. Forest Service Issues Final Directives for Outfitting and Guiding Special Use Permits:
The U.S. Forest Service has issued Final Directives for Forest Service Outfitting and Guiding Special Use Permits. [Details] (Updated September 22, 2008)
Colorado's Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) became effective on October 1, 2007. The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) is an agreement between states to recognize each others' licensees. This model of mutual recognition was developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) to facilitate interstate practice and regulation, allowing a nurse to have one license issued by his or her state of residence and practice in other states participating in the NLC.
Twenty-two (22) states belong to the NLC. They are: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Rhode Island is planning to implement on July 1, 2008.
The NLC includes RN and LPN licensure only.
What this means, is that if an RN or LPN holds a current license in any of these 22 states, they can practice in any of the other 22 states without getting a specific license for that state. So if an RN holds a current Arizona license, he/she can work as an RN at a camp in Colorado without getting a Colorado license.
