Did some research. Her license is in jeopardy if she violates a court order, which the state of Maine has not gotten yet. So, I stand corrected. Interesting to note, her license is in Texas. I wonder what she'll do if they do get the court order. Do y'all think she would comply or not?
I think the young lady has now set her sights higher than merely nursing.

She won't comply. She has no reason to.
Here is another story closer to home. A Nurse.
Margaret Sanger was a leader in women's sexual and contraceptive education and advocacy at a time in America when the Comstock Act determined any information about birth control and contraceptives themselves obscene and immoral -- and therefore illegal in the eyes of the federal government.
Sanger grew up in an Irish-Catholic family, one of 11 children, and blamed her mother's death on the toll 18 pregnancies had taken on her body (Sanger's mother ultimately died of tuberculosis). Inspired by this, Sanger left home, attended nursing school and began working as a visiting nurse on the Lower East Side in New York City. During this time, she saw first-hand the toll of unwanted pregnancies on immigrant women and their families, including botched back-alley and self-attempted abortions and the sickness, infection and death that followed.
In Brooklyn in 1916, Sanger opened the first American birth control clinic -- illegally -- which gave women education on reproductive health and information on using contraceptive devices. The clinic was raided nine days after it opened its doors. A few years later, Sanger founded the American Birth Control League -- which in 1942 would become the Planned Parenthood Foundation -- as well as the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau, an organization that not only offered birth control, but also tracked its safety and effectiveness.
Sanger was also instrumental in leading the development of oral contraception, also known as "the pill." The first oral contraceptive gained FDA approval in 1960, just six years before Sanger's death.

Texas has been taking a much more gentle approach than Christie. Instead of arresting people and putting them in tents with a porta potti, Gov Perry is welcoming them home as heroes and offering them all the assistance they can handle in return for voluntarily quarantining.

Nursing licenses from any state are accepted for many humanitarian missions as well as for Federal Government facilities.
The odds favor that Hickox did not contract Ebola, given the NY MD was the first of more than 700 DwB healthcare workers throughout the world, to become sick, after returning home.
15 days elapsed between Duncan's point of contact with the pregnant girl in Liberia and confirmation of his Ebola diagnosis in Dallas at which point, he was acutely ill. He had contact with hundreds-thousands of people in 4 different airports, 3 flights, 2 layovers, the Dallas apartment, his first ER visit, the ambulance ride on his second and final ER visit.
Dozens of subsequent caregivers transported him to ICU and cared for him in the ICU, including performing intubation and catheterization as well as removal of his voluminous waste. All were instructed to self monitor and they did. They were not quarantined or isolated. Some chose to sleep at the hospital and some did not. Two of Duncan's caregivers acquired the virus. None of the people who had casual or medical contact with the 2 nurses became sick.
Yet, there will always be people who are worried about catching Ebola from a casual cough, on the street.
Why didn't NJ put all those who came into contact with nurse Hickox into a 21 day bubble quarantine?
I can appreciate the need to mitigate media induced public panic.
