Florida NPs, how long did it take from exam to get license

Published

I passed my AANP exam in March. I mailed my completed application with finger print cards and application fee. My transcripts have been sent and the AANP (supposedly) sent confirmation of my certification. The BON website states it takes about 4 weeks. Has anyone received there license sooner????????? Thanks for the response.

All my friends are saying approx. 3 weeks. I am waiting on mine too lol. The board will tell you 3-6 weeks. Good luck.

Make sure you paid the fee to renew your license also, if it is up this year. They will not even look at your app until you do.

I bet it felt great to see your name with ARNP! Hope I see the same next week!

I just saw online where I have been changed from a RN to ARNP. So about 3 weeks is what it took for processing.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I too, got my verification today. So, yes, about 3 weeks from the receipt of my information to the state also.

I don't know if you know, but you can apply for your NPI online also.

Good luck!

Do you need to already have an established physician collaboration to apply for the NPI?
