Which CE course is exempt from the Florida Board-approved provider requirement?

• A. The 2-hour human trafficking course
• B. The 2-hour ethics course
• C. The 3-hour pharmacology course
• D. The 6-hour leadership course

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that Florida waives the Board-approved provider requirement for certain mandated topics to make them easier to complete. The two-hour human trafficking course is one of those exemptions. Because it is a statutorily required topic aimed at protecting the public, it can be offered by providers that aren’t Board-approved and still count toward licensure renewal. This ensures nurses can fulfill the obligation without being restricted to a specific list of providers.

The ethics course, the pharmacology course, and the leadership course do not have this exemption; they generally must be delivered by Board-approved providers to count toward renewal, ensuring the content meets the board’s standards.
