    Nurse Alex Wubbel: A Case Study

    South Carolina Nursing Case Study

    South Carolina is a member of the interstate nurse licensure compact (National Council of State Board of Nursing, 2017). Being a member of the interstate nurse licensure compact, will allow the nurse more flexibility to practice in the different states within the compact state. The nurse can respond to a state of emergency located in the compact state. For example, with the most recent catastrophic event that occurred in Texas with the hurricane Harvey. The local nurses were over worked and desperately needed relief from the long hours in response to hurricane Harvey.

If Texas was not a member of the interstate nurse licensure compact, with the entire state of Texas being considered a state of emergency, and there would have been a delay with the nurses in the state of Texas with relief from their duties.…
