Already licensed? Next credentials for Florida nurses

Pass rates and sticker price are for the first license. Working RNs in Florida often stack an online RN-to-BSN, then an NP specialty. Online RN-to-BSN options serving Florida include Walden University at $27,710 listed total tuition in our directory. Florida NPs may apply for Autonomous Practice Registration after 3,000 or more clinical hours (Fla. Stat. § 464.0123 / Ch. 464 / HB 607). Until registration, practice is under a supervising-physician protocol — not career-long restricted supervision for every Florida NP.

How do I find nursing schools with high NCLEX pass rates in Florida?
Use the board-reported table on this page — 86 Florida board-reported first-time RN rates from cohorts of 10+ candidates. Compare those rates against the state average (82.6%) and the national reference (86.7%). Small cohorts under 10 candidates are excluded because 100% rates from tiny samples are statistically unreliable.
