Welcome to the eNLC Updates page for travel nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. At Sexual Health Education & Economic Telehealth Services, we understand the challenges and concerns faced by travel nurses in these uncertain times. That's why we strive to provide you with the most up-to-date information, guidelines, and support for safe and successful travel nursing experiences.

Understanding the eNLC and its Importance

The Enhanced Nursing Licensure Compact (eNLC) plays a crucial role in facilitating nursing mobility across participating states. As a travel nurse, having an eNLC multistate license enables you to practice in multiple states without obtaining additional licenses. This allows flexibility, career opportunities, and the ability to respond to healthcare needs during emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Latest eNLC Updates and Changes

It's crucial for travel nurses to stay informed about the latest updates and changes to the eNLC. Here are some of the key updates:

  • New States Joining the eNLC: Several states have recently joined the eNLC, expanding the opportunities for travel nurses.
  • COVID-19 Related Waivers: Temporary waivers or modifications may be in place due to the ongoing pandemic. Stay updated on any changes that might affect your nursing practice.
  • License Renewal: Understand the process and requirements for renewing your eNLC multistate license to ensure uninterrupted practice privileges.
  • Telehealth Guidelines: As more healthcare services are delivered remotely, familiarize yourself with telehealth guidelines and regulations in the states you practice.

Guidelines for Safe Travel Nursing during COVID-19

Ensuring your safety and the safety of others is of utmost importance when working as a travel nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Follow these guidelines:

1. Stay Informed and Prepared

Regularly monitor updates from reputable sources such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and state nursing boards. Stay informed about travel restrictions, quarantine requirements, and other relevant guidelines.

2. Adhere to Infection Control Measures
