Not sure why all of the original post did not show up...but anyways...I am applying to endorse to florida from ohio...I read they require you to have two years of practice before they will grant you a license...I am a new RN (10 months) but have practiced as a LPN for over 8 yrs. Do they considering all the years combined or do i need to have two years of RN practice under my belt.

If you're endorsing an RN license, I would guess that that only RN experience will matter. But that's just a guess, which is pretty much all you will get here - our guesses.

Why not ask the Florida BON for a 100% accurate answer?

The Florida BON has their individual rules. They are strict. Only the Florida BON can answer your question.

I can tell you I was travel nursing, had 30 years of experience and gave up on gaining licensure in order to practice in FL.

Odd.. considering there is a huge need to cover the snow birds.
