Michigan licensing
What license a nurse needs here.
Michigan is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (a compact bill passed the state House in 2025 but has not become law), so a multistate license from another state does not cover it. A nurse caring for your baby in Michigan needs a Michigan RN or LPN license.
Nurses here are licensed by the Michigan Board of Nursing.
Look up any nurse's license with the Michigan Board of Nursing or on Nursys before you hire. Every unlock of a nurse through us includes license verification.

Questions families ask
How much does a night nurse cost in Michigan?
Nurses set their own rates. Our rate guide puts licensed night nurses in Michigan at about $37 to $66 an hour, depending on the area, with Ann Arbor at the top. Through Night Nurse you pay your nurse directly, plus one flat $1,500 placement fee for a licensed nurse.
Can a nurse with a multistate license work in Michigan?
No. Michigan is not in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so a nurse caring for your baby in Michigan needs a Michigan RN or LPN license.
Do I owe my night nurse overtime in Michigan?
Possibly. You hire your nurse directly, so your family is the employer. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, a household employee who does not live in your home, paid by the hour, is owed time and a half for hours over 40 in a workweek. We found no Michigan law that adds to that for household employees, so four 10-hour nights a week stays at 40 hours and a fifth is paid at time and a half. Ask a tax or legal adviser how this applies to your plan.
Does Michigan pay parents for leave after a birth?
Michigan has no state paid family leave program that pays new parents. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act gives up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave to parents who qualify, so many families plan night care around when a partner goes back to work.
