Who Should Take This Course?

This course is a great fit for Florida nurses who want a focused legal-and-ethical CE option that supports safer practice and stronger professional judgment. It is especially useful for RNs, LPNs, and APRNs who want continuing education on documentation, informed consent, privacy, delegation, controlled substances, fraud risks, patient rights, and ethical conflict resolution.

Because Florida nursing renewals include both general hours and certain separate mandatory subjects, this course works best for nurses who want jurisprudence and ethics content as part of their overall CE plan. Florida’s standard RN/LPN renewal requirements include 16 general hours plus specific mandatory topics such as Medical Errors, Florida Laws and Rules, Human Trafficking, and Recognizing Impairment in the Workplace; APRNs also have additional role-specific requirements.

Florida Nursing Renewal Requirements

Florida nursing licenses renew on a biennial cycle. For most RNs and LPNs, the Board lists 16 general hours plus 2 hours of Medical Errors, 2 hours of Florida Laws and Rules, 2 hours of Human Trafficking, and 2 hours of Recognizing Impairment in the Workplace every other renewal. Domestic Violence is required every third biennium and is in addition to the 24 hours, and HIV/AIDS is a one-time requirement before the first renewal.

APRNs renew through the department as well, but they have additional renewal items beyond the standard nursing CE framework, including extra role-specific requirements.

This course is approved by the Florida Board of Nursing and can be a smart addition to your renewal plan if you want board-approved legal and ethical nursing CE. If your checklist specifically requires Florida Laws and Rules or another mandatory topic, make sure you choose the course labeled for that exact requirement.

When Do Florida Nurses Have to Renew?

Florida renewal timing depends on your license type and renewal group. Current Florida Board pages show RN and APRN renewals in three groups, with current deadlines of April 30, 2026, July 31, 2026, or April 30, 2027. The renewal option appears in the MQA dashboard no later than 90 days before your expiration date, so it is always best to check your account early and complete your CE ahead of time.

How to Renew Your Florida Nursing License

• Step 1: Complete the CE hours you need for your renewal cycle. For most renewals, the Board requires CE to be reported into CE Broker before renewal is processed.
• Step 2: Finish your course and download your instant certificate for your records.
• Step 3: Wait for your credits to appear in CE Broker. We report completions to CE Broker within 24 hours.
• Step 4: Submit your renewal application and fees through your Florida MQA account. Florida’s renewal instructions say the “Renew My License” option appears no later than 90 days before expiration.
