South Carolina Licensure & Registration Info

The South Carolina State Board of Nursing licenses registered nurses and practical nurses. South Carolina 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 South Carolina their primary state of residency.
