You will need to endorse your California licensure into the state of Florida. You'll need to contact the Florida Board of Nursing for specific details on how to accomplish this.

I completed an LVN program in California, then moved to Texas a month later. I took NCLEX in Texas for the California BVNPT. When I received my initial licensure for California, I simply endorsed it into Texas by applying, sending them a fingerprint card, and other paperwork.
