FLORIDA remedial course before boards ...

missea39, BSN · Sep 16, 2008

I know someone who failed their boards 3 times in florida and had to take a remedial course before they were allowed to sit again for testing. The FBN have a list of different places that do remedial in class or online that they accept. The person took an online course that cost about $650.00 which covered 2 parts. The theory part had to be covered and at the end a test is given and you must score 75-80% to pass the theory section before you can move on to the clinical portion. The clinical portion is a bit more intense because they had o find a plac that would allow them to do their clinicals their and for them that was a headache and also they had to do 100 clinical hrs. They finally found a home health agency that allowed them to do thier clinicals. Paperwork for your clinical preceptor must be filled out even before you can begin clinicals. At the end of clinicals their preeptor had to fill out a form rating thier work and thier was a checklist that had to be completed and checked off by the preceptor. After all that was done they sent in the FBN fee amt, the FBN had to receive their certificate of completion from the remedial course, also they had to do ceu's (prevention med errors) once all those things were in the FBN sent info they were set, she then paid $200 to pearson vue to test, within 48hrs through her email she received her ATT and she set her date and went on to pass her RN boards.She went through CNET of North Dakota which is only FBN acceptable list.

Thanks for the reply... When did you friend do the remedial class? I know it is a LOT more expensive now, and the time frame is longer too. UGH... I will probably sit in GA, like I'm thinking, and then worry about the class after I have my baby. Thanks for your input. I also keep getting conflicting reports on whether I could just endorse the license to FL without taking the remedial class if I am licensed in GA first. I have another friend that did take it in GA for her third time after taking it twice in FL, and she definately won't have to take the remedial class once she passes the exam in GA... BUT it is different if you sit three times total in Fl and don't pass. UGH.
