One hurdle that medical personnel face when transitioning out of the military is licensure. It can also impact military spouses when moving from another state.
North Carolina is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, which allows licensed nurses in partnering states to practice in NC without additional state licensing. This eases the burden on military members and spouses seeking a nursing position in the state if they hold a license in an NLC member state. It could make NC a desirable relocation or retirement state for active duty military and their families, boosting our state's economy.
