Florida Mandatory: Human Trafficking: for Florida Nurses

Course overview

Human trafficking is a hidden public health crisis in Florida-and nurses are often the first (and only) professionals to see victims outside a trafficker's control. This engaging, Florida-specific course (required by Florida Statute 456.0341) teaches you how to recognize high-risk situations and spot real-world clinical indicators of both sex and labor trafficking. You'll learn practical, trauma-informed screening techniques that protect patient safety, build trust, and open the door to disclosure without escalating risk. This course walks you through Florida's reporting pathways. You'll also gain best-practice guidance for objective, defensible documentation that supports continuity of care and potential future legal action. Six realistic case studies across Florida settings (ED, urgent care, pharmacy, agriculture, foster youth, and male victims) help you turn knowledge into confident action.
