So, if you belong to any of the above-mentioned professions or want to renew the license in any of these practice areas, then this page will help you.

You begin by completing your nursing program from any of the schools or universities that the Florida Board of Nursing approves. After that, you have to register and submit an application with the National Council of State Board of Nursing (NCBN) Florida, which is the Florida Board of Nursing. This is done for the NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination).

Florida Board of Nursing is responsible for issuing fresh licenses, renewing the old ones and providing information related to the license and certification status.

Log in to their website to register following the instructions given on the website.

The next step is your background verification, which is conducted by FDLE (Florida Board of Law Enforcement). The level 2 background check is conducted using the electronic fingerprints of the applicant. The applicant bears the fee of this background check and electronic fingerprinting.
