How do I contact the Florida board of nursing?

Use the official Florida Board of Nursing website (floridasnursing.gov) for current contact details, applications, and forms. We link to the official site rather than republishing contact details that change.

Does Florida use Nursys for license verification?

Nursys QuickConfirm is the national verification system and covers RN and LPN/LVN licenses for participating boards. For anything Nursys does not show, or to confirm official requirements, use the Florida Board of Nursing directly.

Is Florida a compact (NLC) state?

Yes. Florida's Nurse Licensure Compact status determines whether the board issues multistate licenses to residents. See the Florida compact status page for the full breakdown.

Florida Board of Nursing: official resources

Everything official for nursing licensure in Florida, in one place — the board of nursing, license verification, endorsement, renewal, and compact status, each linking to the authoritative source.

What is the official Florida board of nursing?

The Florida Board of Nursing is the official state authority for nursing licensure in Florida — it issues and renews licenses, handles licensure by endorsement, and makes every licensure decision. Its website is floridasnursing.gov. Florida is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, which shapes what the board can issue. Use the board for anything official; use Nursys to verify an individual license. CompactStates.com is an independent guide, not the board.
