Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 147.44 through 147.54, the following shall apply regarding applicants for nurse licensure possessing a license from another state:
1. A license possessed by an applicant from a state which has not adopted the nurse licensure compact contained in section 152E.1 shall be recognized by the board under conditions specified which indicate that the licensee meets all the qualifications required under section 152.7. If a foreign license is recognized, the board may issue a license by endorsement without an examination being required. Recognition shall be based on whether the foreign licensee is qualified to practice nursing. The board may issue a temporary license to a natural person who has completed the requirements of and applied for licensure by endorsement. The board shall determine the length of time a temporary license shall remain effective.
2. A license possessed by an applicant and issued by a state which has adopted the nurse licensure compact contained in section 152E.1 shall be recognized pursuant to the provisions of that section.
