I got my California license 2009 and have been working for a year. I would like to move to Florida, more specifically to a VA hospital and am beginning the process of license endorsement to obtain a FL license. I noticed that Florida has a CEU requirement for Reducing Medical Errors. Does anyone know if I am supposed to take this course and apply it to my California license or wait until I receive my Florida license before taking the course? Also, does anyone know the current Florida environment for job availability, or have any experience getting hired into a VA hospital? Any response would be great!
I was also confused by this. I have been licensed in Ohio since July '10, and I'm now moving to florida. Also, once you apply, how long does it take to become licensed?
My guess is that you would not be required to practice nursing in your own state before being able to get your Florida license. However, don't take my word for it. Call the Florida state board and talk to them about it. It took me a long time to get all the stuff they required in order to get a Florida nursing license. I think that once I sent everything in that it took about 30-40 days to get a reply back. Make sure you get your Florida license first before you actually move to Florida. Good luck:jester:
