NJ vs Florida license

Will my NJ RN license get reciprocity in Florida. I will be moving soon and would like to know the procedure for transferring license. Thanks a bunch!
Welcome to allnurses.com!You will have to apply to the Florida BON for endorsement. They are known to be slow so I would advise starting the process right away...........

No, you don't have to give up your New Jersey license when you apply for a Florida license. The only thing I would tell you is make sure notify the NJ State Board of Nsg of your new address once you move down here to Florida, otherwise you will not get your renewal notice for NJ. Apply as soon as you can because Fl State Board is not the fastest at getting your license moving. Good luck with the move. Do you have a job, and where will you be moving to? flaerman :hatparty:

hey i had a question in regards to reciprocity between NJ and FL....i am a resident of NJ but am planning to attend a BSN program in FL....once i have my BSN from the accredited college in FL (remington) will i be able to register to take my NCLEX-RN in NJ instead....or will i be limited to taking the exam in FL? and if so, can my license be reciprocated/endorsed to NJ?
