Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C, D
Obtaining a license through mutual recognition of licensure requires that an
individual's home state and the intended state of practice be party states. As well, an applicant
must qualify for licensure in the intended state. A diploma in nursing does not preclude transfer
of licensure, and an individual may not possess licenses in both states simultaneously.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
A major concern with mutual recognition is the disciplinary process. Although the
board of nursing can investigate nursing practices and enforce its own standards in the state, it
cannot change the licensure status of the person whose licensure originates in a different state.
The ANA does not participate in disciplinary matters, and a state would not normally undertake
discipline based on an investigation in another party state.
