After submitting all documentation, it took a week for me to receive my license.

You should be excited. I'm moving from NYC to Orlando and I shrieked at work when I received the email about my license yesterday.

Are you a recent grad? And if so, did you apply for a nurse residency program in Orlando?

I graduated in May of '14. I've had a year of ER experience in a Trauma II center hospital. No. I'm not applying to a new grad program in Orlando. Looking to travel to Pensacola, Florida.

Have you been in contact with a travel agency? Coming from someone that's done local per diem and traveling, 1 year is not a lot of nursing time to start traveling. I've worked with several agencies and I haven't come across any reputable that doesn't require at least 2 years.

I didn't start per diem and traveling until I had 5 years. Even then, some assignments were demanding. Honestly, 1 year is not even the tip of the nursing iceberg. I'd be shocked and concerned if a nurse with 1 year experience were even granted an interview with a nursing manager.

It took me 2-3 business day after everything was submitted. Very quick I want to say 2 days but I be safe and say 3 days. The only thing that took long was fingerprinting, I had to go from Canada to USA ink to electronic

@Noahj:

I actually currently have 4 recruiters at reputable agencies I am talking with who are quite satisfied with my one year of ER experience. I have more of a medical background than just 1 year of nursing though, which adds to my resume. I also have 4 friends who have within the past year started traveling with 1 to 1 & 1/2 year(s) of experience and they are doing quite well and enjoying their travel experiences with reputable travel agencies.

I was asking how long it took to get a Florida license after all documentation had been submitted. If you have valuable insight on this topic I would love to hear it.
