Florida RN Continuing Education (CE) Exemption for License Renewal

Presently the Florida Board of Nursing allows certified nurses to renew their license with just 1 class during the biannual license renewal! For those seeking Nursing CEU Fl requirements, Florida RNs who apply the CE exemption will only need to take the 2 hour Human Trafficking course to renew their license. We will review the Florida Board of Nursing CE exemption with step-by-step instructions for how to apply this exemption in CE Broker.

What is a certified nurse?

The Florida Board of Nursing announces that, “A nurse who is certified by a health care specialty program accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies or the Accreditation Board for Specialty Nursing Certification is exempt from continuing education requirements.”

Nursing CEU FL

The CE exemption is a benefit for Florida nurses as it shortens the nursing ceu required from 27 hours to 2 hours. This makes the nursing license renewal in Florida much faster for a licensee. Renew Now CE’s online nursing continuing education courses for Florida provide the most efficient path to biennial renewal.

Please note: The CE exemption based on certification does not apply to the 2 hr Human Trafficking course requirement for RNs or the 3 hr Safe and Effective Prescription of Controlled Substances course requirement for NPs.

A Florida RN who is certified will be required to complete just the Human Trafficking 2 hour course to renew your license. Once the exemption is applied, a Florida certified NP is only required to complete both Human Trafficking and Safe and Effective Prescription of Controlled Substances to renew their license.
