In Florida, license renewal occurs every how many years?

• A. One year
• B. Two years
• C. Three years
• D. Four years

Answer: (B)

Licenses for Florida nurses are renewed on a biennial cycle, meaning every two years. This two-year interval is how the Board of Nursing ensures you stay current with practice standards and complete required continuing education within each cycle. When the two-year period ends, you submit a renewal application, meet any CE requirements, and pay the renewal fee to gain another two-year license. If you miss renewal, the license can become inactive or expired, and you’d need to reinstate or reapply to practice again. The other time frames don’t match how Florida nursing licenses are renewed.
