Frequently asked

Florida nursing CE questions, answered

  • How many CE hours do Florida RNs need per renewal?

    Florida RNs complete 24 contact hours every two years, plus the Florida-specific required topics (medical errors, Florida laws and rules, human trafficking, recognizing impairment, and others on a rotating cycle).

  • Does CE Broker really report my hours to the Florida Board of Nursing?

    Yes. CE Broker is the official CE tracking system for the Florida Board of Nursing, so approved Florida providers send your completion data directly to the board through CE Broker — you don’t upload anything.

  • When does my Florida nursing license expire?

    Florida nursing licenses are on a two-year renewal cycle. Your specific expiration date is printed on your license and visible in your CE Broker account.

  • Do I have to pay for CE Broker?

    No. Every Florida nurse has free access to the CE Broker Basic account — that’s the version required by the board for tracking. Premium plans add concierge features but aren’t required to renew.

  • Which courses count toward my Florida nursing CE?

    Any course offered by a provider approved by the Florida Board of Nursing or another recognized accreditor (like ANCC). CE Broker’s course search filters to board-accepted courses only.

  • What happens if I’m short on hours when my renewal date comes up?

    Your CE Broker dashboard surfaces the gap before you renew. You can pick up the missing hours from the marketplace and your transcript will update in real time — no paperwork to chase.
