Dear Friends, I am in the process of filling out my Florida Nursing License application.I am a Canadian that went to nursing school in Ontario, and I was first licensed there.After working in Ontario,I moved to Virginia and got my nursing license there and worked there for a few years.Now I am applying for a Florida nursing license!Talk about jumping through hoops!How long will this process take me? I have no special issues like poor health, criminal background or any nursing disciplinary action.I saw a website called "floridanurseslicenses.com".The owner of the company lives in Tallahassee, and for 125$-he will do your application ASAP.Is this worth my while? I read a couple of threads where nurses were saying it took sometimes 6-12 months to get their licenses.Is this true?Or is that just extreme cases. ANY feedback would be helpful. Warmest Regards!

I am an RN with 25 years of hospital nursing experience in critical care.I am moving to Florida (the Lakeland area) from Virginia, and I plan to go into Hospice Nursing.Any suggestions out there from experienced Hospice Nurses would be a great help.I have spoken to several Hospice Nurses who absolutely LOVE their jobs ! Thanks so much!
