The North Dakota State Board of Nursing licenses registered nurses and practical nurses. North Dakota is a Nurse Licensure Compact (Compact) state, meaning that nurses licensed by another Compact state do not need to apply for licensure unless they plan to make North Dakota their primary state of residency.
