CEU's required when transferring a licence to FL

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hi, I was looking at the required CE's you need to transfer your RN license from one state to FL. I am understanding this correctly on the website. I need to have completed a 2 hour course in the prevention of medical errors and one hour in HIV/AIDS? Do you go on that www.cebroker.com to complete these CE's online?

Where I am licensed we don't have specific CE requirments so this is confusing.

Thanks.

From the FAQ section of the BoN website:

Q: How many contact hours do I need to renew my license? I endorsed in from another state.

A: Most initial licenses are not valid for the full 2 years. One (1) contact hour is required for each month of the licensure cycle, including two (2) hours on Prevention of Medical Errors. HIV/AIDS is now a one-time, 1-hour CE requirement to be completed prior to the first renewal. Domestic Violence (DV) CE is now a 2-hour requirement every third renewal. For example, if you renew your license on July 31, 2008 and completed DV during the 2006-2008 licensure cycle, you are required to complete the Domestic Violence CE before the July 31, 2014 renewal.

CEBroker does not offer CEUs, they only assist in finding available programs (not very well) and for a fee will keep track of your earned CEUs in case of audit by the BoN. You can keep track of your own CEUs for free and would only need to send in certificates in case of audit. I found all the CEUs I needed at RN.com thanks to another frequent AllNurses poster.
