Registered Nurse Licensure Disclosure - Florida

The student satisfactorily completing the pre-licensure BSN or ADN program is eligible to apply for licensure by the Florida Board of Nursing. The Florida Board of Nursing requires that applicants for a nursing license must provide a United States issued social security number. A United States issued social security number is also required to be eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) in the state of Florida. This requirement will prevent anyone from applying for RN licensure in Florida and being employed as an RN without a United States issued social security number.
