Is an Illinois license needed for this travel assignment?
Yes—unless you already hold an active Illinois RN license. Illinois is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, so multistate authority issued elsewhere doesn’t apply.

Our Illinois Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.
