The Florida Board of Nursing is the state agency responsible for licensing and regulating the practice of nursing in Florida. It issues professional licenses to registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and certified nurse assistants (CNAs). Nurses are also required to renew their licenses every two years. To do so, they must complete continuing education courses and pay a renewal fee before their license is renewed by the board.
