Keep your nursing license current.

If you don’t renew your license, you won’t be able to work as a nurse in Florida. But don’t worry! You can continue to work as a nurse without having a current license if the following conditions apply:

• You work for yourself or for someone else who does not have employees
• The nursing services are performed at home (except if you’re working in an assisted living facility) and no patients receive care from more than one healthcare professional at the same time. If this happens, then all parties must have current licenses/certifications and meet all state requirements for providing care to patients.

The renewal process is simple and takes just a few minutes. You can renew online or by mail. The fee for renewal is $88 and you need to submit an application packet along with your payment receipt.
