Texas participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). This means if you hold a multistate nursing license from another compact state, you can practice in Texas without obtaining a separate state license.
Travel nurses with a compact license can start assignments more quickly.
If you’re from a non-compact state, you’ll need to apply for a Texas license. The process is straightforward and handled before your assignment begins.
Make sure your license is active and in good standing before starting your travel assignment.
Always verify your compact license eligibility and any Texas-specific requirements.
Check CE requirements if your assignment will extend beyond one year.
