Nurses must complete 24 hours of appropriate CE during each renewal period, including two hours relating to prevention of medical errors, two hours in Laws and Rules in Nursing, two hours in Human Trafficking, two hours in Recognizing Impairment in the Workplace every other biennium (every 4 years), and one (1) hour in HIV/AIDS prior to first renewal (one-time requirement).

In addition to these 24 hours of general CE, every third renewal two hours of domestic violence CE must be completed for a total of 26 hours.

Nursing CE Central’s 2024 Florida Renewal Bundle includes all of these required courses.

Yes! The CE courses from Nursing CE Central are approved and accepted by the Florida Board of Nursing.

The Florida Board of Nursing Requires that the Florida-required courses have tests. They will not accept the following courses without tests:

• Medical Errors Prevention
• Human Trafficking
• Florida Nursing Laws and Regulations
• Recognizing Impairment in the Workplace
• Domestic Violence
• HIV/AIDS

Because of this requirement, these aforementioned courses do contain a 10-question, true/false test.

Regarding the rest of our courses, we do not feel that tests are an efficient use of nurses’ time. Therefore, we do not require tests on any other courses. These courses do still meet Florida’s general requirements.

The 2024 license renewal deadline for Florida RNs are April 30, 2024 or July 31, 2024, depending on the exact expiration date a nurse’s license falls on.

All nurses who miss their renewal deadline will need to file for a license reactivation if they wish to continue practicing in the state of Florida. The license reactivation process comes with additional fees and nurses must still meet continuing education requirements. You can request reactivation information by contacting the Board at [email protected] .

If you do not want to renew your license before it expires, you can retire it for a one time, $55 fee* paid to the Florida Board of Nursing. This will put your license into a dormant state in which you can reactivate it when needed. If you take no action before your license expires, it will become delinquent, and then eventually fall null/void two years after its last expiration. Once it is null/void it cannot be reactivated. *fees subject to change.

No, you cannot practice nursing until your license is reactivated.

Once you enroll you will have access to all courses. To complete a course you read and learn the course materials, then testify that you have done so by clicking a button. Once this is complete your certificate will be issued.

Your certificate will be instantly emailed to you once you complete a course. Additionally, it is available online for you to access at any time. We keep a record of your certificates for five years.

No. Users may complete the courses at their own pace. Nursing CE Central does not monitor your time spent in courses.

Nursing CE Central is happy to offer you a refund if the courses do not meet your state licensing requirements.
