INDIANAPOLIS  — Indiana will recognize nursing licenses from many others states with a new law taking effect later this summer on July 1st.

The law will have Indiana join the nurse licensure compact, under which those with Indiana nursing licenses could work in other member states.

The National Council of State Boards of Nursing says about 30 states are part of the compact, although Kentucky is the only one of Indiana’s neighboring states currently in the agreement.
