For updated information on licensure requirements and fees, please visit the Arizona State Board of Nursing website.
Since Arizona is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), you will not need an Arizona nursing license to practice travel nursing in this state if you have a valid license for another Compact state.
If you don’t have a nursing license in a compact state, you’ll need to apply for a license. As a travel nurse, one of your best options for obtaining a license to practice nursing in Arizona is to apply for a 48-hour emergency temporary license. This type of license is valid for six months, which is more than sufficient for most travel nurses.
Here are the following requirements needed to obtain this license:
Verification for this type of license typically takes 48 hours from the filing date.
To apply for a 48-hour emergency temporary license, you must pay a $50 fee.
Arizona is one of the 20+ states that participate in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). As a travel nurse, working in an NLC state provides the convenience of not having to apply for licensure in the state or having to worry about licensure renewal requirements and fees.
If you maintain legal residency in a compact state, you’ll never have to worry about renewal requirements and fees, as long as you continue to work in other compact states across the U.S.
Arizona is one of the few states in the country that is a walk-through state, hence the ability to apply for a 48-hour emergency temporary license.
Arizona does not have any CEU requirements. However, to apply for a license renewal you must complete one of the following:
