How to Get a Letter for RN Remediation Approval from the Florida Board of Nursing
✅ Why You Need a Remediation Approval Letter
If you’ve failed the NCLEX 3 consecutive times in Florida, the Florida Board of Nursing requires you to complete a state-approved remedial education program before you can reapply to take the NCLEX again.
To enroll in an RN remedial course, you must first obtain an approval letter from the Florida Board of Nursing. This letter confirms your eligibility to begin remediation and is a mandatory step before registration.
📩 Step 1: Contact the Florida Board of Nursing
The Florida Board of Nursing processes remediation letters through its Licensure Unit.
Email Address: MQA.NursingAppStatus@flhealth.gov
Subject Line: Request for RN Remediation Letter
Include in Email:
Full name (as it appears on your nursing application)
Date of birth
Application number (if available)
A statement requesting a remediation letter after three NCLEX failures
📑 Step 2: Prepare Supporting Documentation
In some cases, the Board may request additional documents to verify your status. Commonly requested items include:
A copy of your most recent NCLEX Candidate Performance Report (CPR)
Proof of prior nursing education (transcripts or diploma)
Your Florida application/licensure ID number
⏳ Step 3: Wait for Notification
After your request is submitted, the Licensure Unit will review your application status. If approved, you will receive an official remediation approval letter by email (and sometimes by mail). This letter is what you will submit to your chosen remediation program.
📝 Step 4: Submit the Letter to Your Remediation School
Once received, you must provide the approval letter directly to the Florida Board–approved remediation program where you plan to enroll. Schools cannot admit you without this letter.
⚠️ Important Notes
You cannot begin clinical or classroom remediation without an official approval letter.
If your contact information has changed, make sure to update it with the Florida Board before submitting your request.
Allow 2–4 weeks for processing, though many letters are issued faster.
