A remedial course for reexamination must include how many hours of clinical experience?

• A. None
• B. 60
• C. 96
• D. 180

Answer: (C)

Remedial courses for reexamination are built around giving nurses substantial hands-on practice to rebuild clinical competence before they try the exam again. The Florida Board of Nursing sets a specific minimum for this clinical experience, and that minimum is 96 hours. This amount of hands-on time helps ensure you’ve had enough supervised practice with real patients to apply nursing knowledge, refine assessment and care planning, and reinforce safe, competent practice.

Why this matters for the options: zero hours would leave you with no real-world practice, which is insufficient for reexamination. Sixty hours is below the mandated minimum, so it doesn’t meet the rule. One hundred eighty hours exceeds the minimum, but the rule defines 96 hours as the required minimum, not a higher target.
