Petition 3 Support Massachusetts NLC HD1188/SD615 - 2Read or Edit the Petition Ms. Mr. Miss. Mrs. Mx. Dr. Dear Honorable Members of the Joint Committee on Public Health The goal of the Nurse Licensure Compact (the "NLC") is to improve patient care by allowing nurses to practice freely across state lines with one license. The NLC has many benefits for our state. The goal of the Nurse Licensure Compact is to improve patient care no matter where they live. The NLC is also crucial during times of disaster, allowing a nurse to easily cross state lines to help those in need. Finally, the NLC helps military families. Military spouses are burdened with applying for a new nursing license each time the family must relocate. Under the NLC, the spouse's employment can continue seamlessly. Thank you for considering this very important issue to nurses and patients in your district.
