Illinois Healthcare License Information

Illinois is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses need the appropriate Illinois license to work in the state. Nurses licensed in another state may need to apply through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Allied health requirements depend on the profession and assignment.

Facilities may also require certifications such as Basic Life Support, Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, ARRT credentials, NBRC credentials, RCIS credentials, or other role-specific credentials. Your Medical Solutions recruiter can help confirm what you’ll need before your start date.
