How do I report an action taken against a nurse who is licensed in another State but is authorized to practice in our State under the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC)?
The Multi-State Privilege Adverse Action Classification codes were developed to allow the reporting of actions taken against a nurse’s privilege to practice under the NLC. The State that issues the license to practice (the nurse’s home State or State of residency) should use the Licensure Adverse Action Classification codes to report an action it takes against the nurse’s license. If the remote State (the State that did not issue the license) also takes an action against the nurse’s Multi-State Privilege to Practice, it should also file a separate report of that action using the Multi-State Privilege Adverse Action Classification codes. The Multi-State Privilege Adverse Action Classification codes, along with the Licensure Adverse Action Classification codes, and other Adverse Action Classification codes, are available under Reporting Codes under the General Information category on the Data Banks home page.
