Can a Registered Nurse transfer a license to Indiana as a military spouse?
Yes. Indiana is a member of the Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC), so a Registered Nurse holding a multistate/compact license can practice in IN without re-applying. Compact license travels with you to any other compact-member state automatically. Outside compact states, fall back on VAEIA 2022 / 50 USC 4025a portability.
Your nursing board in Indiana
We haven't verified a IN-specific nursing spouse provision beyond the federal VAEIA 2022 backstop. The Indiana State Board of Nursing processes endorsement and temporary-license applications — call to confirm the current military-spouse timeline before you move.
