  • If you’re applying for a Florida nursing license via examination, you must be a graduate of a Florida state-approved or accredited nursing program.
  • Individuals applying for a Florida nursing license via examination must pay $110 fee and pass the NCLEX-RN® or NCLEX-PN® Examination to acquire a nursing license.
  • Individuals are eligible for their Florida nursing license via endorsement if they hold a valid license in another state, have completed the NCLEX, or have actively practiced nursing for three years without having any strikes against their license.
