New York to Florida Licensure Information

Published

Hi all,

I'm an RN with NYS licensure. I applied online via the Florida Dept of Health for my Florida license. What do I have to do next....contact the NYS dept of education to send my info to Florida? I'm unclear as to what my next step is. I understand about the fingerprinting and continuing education requirements. I'm just not sure what do with regard having my information sent to the Florida Board of Nursing.:banghead:

Thanks - Mike

I just applied last week for the same thing. This is the email I received from NYS with instructions.

What you are requesting is a certification. This is a document other

states, certifying agencies or jurisdictions may require to confirm a

New York license. It is the official statement of the basis of

licensure and includes a licensee*s name, profession, license number,

date of birth, registration status, professional school attended,

professional examination results, and any conditions or restrictions.

Certifications will be issued only at the request of the licensee for

submission to another licensing authority. Certifications must be

requested in writing. Be sure to include your name, profession, license

number, date of birth, and the address to which the certification should

be mailed, as well as any forms, which must accompany the information.

There is a $20.00 fee for each certification; the check or money order

should be made payable to the NYS Education Department.

Mail your request(s) along with the required fee(s) to:

Office of the Professions, Division of Professional Licensing Services,

Certification and Verification Unit, 89 Washington Ave., Albany, NY

12234-1000.

i am not sure if NYS is on Nursys.com, but that is what i used when i got my FL license (my initial state of licensure is North Carolina). it's a $30 fee and it allows the FL BON to verify your info from your BON without any paperwork.

good luck :)

Hi - NYS does not participate in Nursys.com

Rivs - Is there a form we use when we write to the NYS Education Dept....or do we just type a letter?
