An additional $25 fee applies for multistate license applications and renewals, on top of standard licensing fees set by the Indiana State Board of Nursing.

Party states may take adverse action against a nurse's multistate licensure privilege within their jurisdiction, and nurses practicing under the compact must comply with the practice laws of the state where the patient is located.
