Licensing in Texas
What the compact means here
Texas 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 Texas without applying again. You still follow the nurse practice act of Texas, 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 Texas on your multistate license. Your recruiter confirms the facility requirements before you accept.
- If you move your primary state of residence to Texas, you apply for a Texas license as your new home state. Ask the Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas
Texas does not tax wage income at the state level. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply, so your take-home pay is higher than the same gross pay in a state that taxes wages. Travel assignments add a second question, your tax home, which decides whether housing and meals stipends are tax-free. Run your own numbers in the take-home pay calculator and the travel nurse pay calculator.

Common questions
Is Texas a compact nursing state?
Texas 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 Texas without applying again. You still follow the nurse practice act of Texas, 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 Texas?
If you live in another compact state, your multistate license already lets you work here. Otherwise apply to the Texas board of nursing by endorsement: verify your licenses, complete the background check and plan on several weeks.
Does Texas tax wages?
No. Texas has no state income tax on wages. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply.

The median RN pay is $45.41 per hour, about $94,453 a year, based on 124 RN postings with published pay. The typical range runs from $35 to $55 per hour.
