PA. JOINS PACT AIMED AT HELPING TO EASE NURSING SHORTAGE

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is making it easier for out-of-state nurses to practice in the Keystone State.  Nursing shortages have reportedly impacted care throughout the commonwealth including in Western Pennsylvania.  Governor Shapiro is now signing onto a deal called the Nurse Licensure Compact which allows nurses licensed in one of the pact members 41 states and territories to practice in the others.  Pennsylvania will join in on that pact effective September 5th.
