Certified Florida RNs are required to complete a&nbsp;<strong>2-hour Human Trafficking course<\/strong>&nbsp;as part of their biennial license renewal. This course fulfills the mandatory CE requirement for certified nurses under the Florida Board of Nursing regulations. While certification may reduce overall CEU requirements, the 2-hour Human Trafficking training remains compulsory for license renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renew Now CE provides an Instant Certificate for immediate license submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/renewnowce.com\/course-details\/191\">Human Trafficking Course (2 Hours)<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/renewnowce.com\/course-details\/168\">The Safe and Effective Prescription of Controlled Substances Course<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sk-ww-google-reviews\" data-embed-id=\"25614990\"><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/widgets.sociablekit.com\/google-reviews\/widget.js\" defer><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-florida-rn-continuing-education-ce-exemption-for-license-renewal\">Florida RN Continuing Education (CE) Exemption for License Renewal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you a Florida RN looking for a quick and easy way to renew your nursing license?&nbsp;Get Your Florida Nursing License Renewal in Just 2 Hours: Quick &amp; Easy CEU Requirements.&nbsp;The Florida Board of Nursing offers an excellent opportunity for certified nurses to complete their license renewal with minimal continuing education (CE) requirements. Currently, certified RNs can renew their licenses by taking just&nbsp;<strong>one course<\/strong>&nbsp;during the biannual renewal cycle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet the Florida nursing CEU requirements, certified RNs only need to complete a <strong>2-hour Human Trafficking Course<\/strong>. This post provides a step-by-step guide to applying for the Florida Board of Nursing CE exemption via CE Broker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Certified Nurse?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Florida Board of Nursing, a&nbsp;<strong>certified nurse<\/strong>&nbsp;is \u201ca nurse who is certified by a healthcare specialty program accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies or the Accreditation Board for Specialty Nursing Certification.\u201d For more information, visit the Florida Board of Nursing&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/floridasnursing.gov\/renewals\/#faq\">FAQ&nbsp;page<\/a>&nbsp;to see how specialty nursing certification can fulfill CE requirements for license renewal.Nursing CEU FL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nursing-ceu-fl-ce-exemption-benefits\">Nursing CEU FL: CE Exemption Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The CE exemption greatly benefits Florida nurses by reducing required CEUs from 27 hours to only 2 hours. This streamlines the license renewal process for RNs, making it faster and more efficient. At Renew Now CE, we provide online nursing continuing education courses specifically designed to facilitate your biennial renewal process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Important Note:&nbsp;The CE exemption based on certification does not apply to the&nbsp;2-hour Human Trafficking course requirement&nbsp;for RNs or the&nbsp;3-hour Safe and Effective Prescription of Controlled Substances course requirement&nbsp;for nurse practitioners (NPs).<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Required Courses for Certified RNs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a certified Florida RN, your only requirement for license renewal is the&nbsp;2-hour Human Trafficking course.
