Are advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) included in the NLC?
No, not in the NLC, but in 2002, the NCSBN Delegate Assembly adopted the separate APRN Compact model legislation and implementation guidelines. Advanced practice nurses were not included in the original NLC (in 1999) because of the wide variability in the regulation of advanced nursing practice needed special consideration.
