The Texas State Board of Nursing is not soliciting volunteers directly, but they are granting expedited temporary licenses for nurses from state’s that are not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact. Washington state is not part of the Compact, so nurse volunteers from our state will need a temporary license. (See map of current Compact states.)
