How does the NLC address the varying scopes of nursing practice as authorized by each NLC state?
The NLC provides that the nurse is held accountable for complying with the nursing practice laws and other regulations in the state where the patient is located at the time care is rendered. This accountability is similar to the motor vehicle driver (drivers license compact) who must obey the driving laws in the state where he or she is driving. In fact, all nurses are accountable for this, it is not unique to the NLC.
