Licensing in Arizona
What the compact means here
Arizona is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). A registered nurse or LPN/LVN whose primary state of residence is a compact state can hold one multistate license and practice in Arizona without applying again. You still follow the nurse practice act of Arizona, the state where the patient is.
If you are joining from another state
- Confirm that your home state is a compact state and that your license is multistate. Check the status on the license verification at Nursys or with your board.
- If you live in another compact state, you can start work in Arizona on your multistate license. Your recruiter confirms the facility requirements before you accept.
- If you move your primary state of residence to Arizona, you apply for a Arizona license as your new home state. Ask the Arizona board how long you may keep practicing on the old license while it processes.
- If your home state is not in the compact, apply for a Arizona license by endorsement. Start before you accept a start date, because verification and background checks take time.
Other healthcare professions
Allied health, pharmacy, therapy, laboratory and imaging licenses and certifications are issued state by state and are not covered by the nurse compact. Some states accept national certification, others require their own license. Ask your recruiter which credential Arizona requires for your role before you commit to dates.
Compact status changes as states implement the law. This reflects our records as of October 15, 2026. Confirm eligibility with the Arizona board of nursing or at nursecompact.org before you accept a role. Nurse Licensure Compact guide · Compact license map · Our agency licenses
Taxes and take-home pay in Arizona
Arizona taxes wage income, and rates and rules change, so use the current rate from your state tax agency. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply on top. If you work here on a travel assignment, your tax home decides whether housing and meals stipends are tax-free, and that is a question for your tax professional. Put your own rates into the take-home pay calculator and the travel nurse pay calculator.

Common questions
Is Arizona a compact nursing state?
Arizona is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). A registered nurse or LPN/LVN whose primary state of residence is a compact state can hold one multistate license and practice in Arizona without applying again. You still follow the nurse practice act of Arizona, the state where the patient is. Check your own eligibility with your state board of nursing or at nursecompact.org.
How do I get a nursing license in Arizona?
If you live in another compact state, your multistate license already lets you work here. Otherwise apply to the Arizona board of nursing by endorsement: verify your licenses, complete the background check and plan on several weeks.
Does Arizona tax wages?
Yes. Arizona taxes wage income. Rates change, so check your state tax agency before you compare offers.
