Missouri is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact. Nurses licensed in another compact state can work under that license in Missouri. It is also a 'walkthrough' state. The Board of Nursing may issue a temporary license the same day application is made for a permanent license. First-time applicants must take a state exam. Transfers may be done by endorsement, providing a license was not previously held in Missouri.
