Do I need to have a Florida RN license in order to apply for an APRN license?


No, it does not have to be a Florida RN license. Any nurse desiring to be licensed as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse must apply to the department and submit proof that he or she holds a current license registered nurse license.
