NOTICE OF SCAM

The Board has received reports of a scam targeting Oklahoma nurses. The scam involves the offender impersonating agency staff in “Official Notice” letters which purport to warn the recipient that his or her license has been suspended. The scammers use our logo, address, and contact information, as well as the logo and contact information of the U.S. Department of Justice.

If you receive a “notice of suspension” or correspondence purporting to be from this agency you did not expect, please contact us to verify the legitimacy of the communication. Board staff are aware of the issue and will understand your request.

Multistate Nurse Licensure Compact

Announcement: New NLC Rule

Starting Jan 2, 2024, a new NLC rule became effective.  Nurses relocating to another compact state now have 60 days from the time they move to apply for a new license by endorsement in a new primary state of residence. RNs and LPNs with an NLC multistate license are able to practice nursing in other NLC states, without having to obtain additional licenses.

The new rule (effective beginning January 2, 2024) reads:
402(2) A multistate licensee who changes primary state of residence to another party state shall apply for a multistate license in the new party state within 60 days.

Helpful FAQs and a brief video about the new rule are available online.
