Hi,
I'm an RN-OR nurse and I would like to relocate to Florida next year.

I was told that I only have to pass NCLEX, is that true?

Thank you,
Nic.

Re: Relocate to Florida

Are you a Canadian citizen and do you qualify for a NAFTA visa?

I am a MIchigan RN and am thinking of relocating to Florida too,ASAP as a Travel Nurse. Not sure which agencies are better or which Hospitals are hiring. Please help.

Hi Fiona59: yes I'm a Canadian citizen and I do qualify for a NAFTA/TN1 visa.

Hi Carltjm3: you have to apply for a license https://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/DOHInitialApp/login.aspx

Moved to the International forum as per the red banner.

You will still have to meet BON requirements for foreign trained nurse pass NCLEX as well as meet NAFTA requirements.

Remember NCLEX is just a part of the BON RN license process
