Less than three years ago, the Florida Board of Nursing board imposed disciplinary actions against more than 500 nurses, which resulted in limitations, suspensions, and voluntary surrender of licenses. Had they been aware of the pertinent information on the nursing-related rules in Florida, they could have avoided going through the difficult ordeal. Enroll in this course and get the information you need to stay on track, as far as Florida laws of nursing are concerned.
