What does a multi-state licensure privilege mean?

Similar to the Driver's License model, this is the mechanism in the Nurse Licensure Compact that allows a nurse who is licensed in one compact state (home state/primary state) to legally practice in another compact state (remote state). It is important to understand that the Nurse Licensure Compact requires the nurse to adhere to the practice laws and rules of the state in which he/she practices. In the case of electronic practice (telenursing), the nurse must adhere to the practice standards of the state in which the client(s) receives care.
