6 Renewing your Florida registered nurse license is not difficult.

Renewing your Florida registered nurse license is not difficult. The renewal process is the same as applying for the first time, which means that you can do it online and it takes just a few minutes. You’ll need to enter some basic information, like your name and address, but other than that, all you have to do is pay the $22 fee with a credit card (or use PayPal). Then you’re done!

The renewal process can be done at any time during the year—you’re not required to wait until just before your current certification expires. If you want to renew ahead of schedule and avoid paying late fees or having trouble accessing government health care programs later on down the road because of expired certifications, go ahead and submit an application whenever works best for your schedule.
