How to Get Approved for an RN Remediation Program in Florida (Step-by-Step)
Losing your nursing license or failing the NCLEX exam doesn’t mean the end of your career. In Florida, the Board of Nursing (BON) provides nurses with a clear path back into the profession through an RN Remediation Program. At Nuvelle, we specialize in helping nurses successfully complete this process with confidence and support.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting approved for an RN remediation program in Florida.
✅ Step 1: Determine If Your Remediation is Required or Voluntary
In Florida, remediation can be either required or voluntary:
Required Remediation: If the Florida Board of Nursing (FBON) issues you a notice, remediation is mandatory due to:
Failing the NCLEX three times
An expired or lapsed license
A disciplinary action
Voluntary Remediation: Some nurses choose remediation even if not required — especially if they’ve struggled with the NCLEX multiple times and want a structured, Board-approved course to rebuild their confidence and knowledge.
💡 Nuvelle Tip: Even voluntary remediation can make your application stronger and improve your success on the NCLEX.
✅ Step 2: Request a Florida BON Letter (If You Failed the NCLEX 3 Times)
If you’ve failed the NCLEX three consecutive times, the Florida BON requires you to obtain a remediation authorization letter before you can begin a course.
Here’s the step-by-step process to request your letter:
Prepare your information
Full legal name
NCLEX candidate ID number
Date of birth
Application/License number (if applicable)
2. Send an Email to the Florida BON
Address: MQA.NursingAppStatus@flhealth.gov
Subject Line: “Remediation Letter Request – NCLEX 3 Failures”
Include your personal details and a brief statement requesting the required letter for enrollment in a Florida Board-approved RN Remediation Program.
3. Wait for Response from Licensure Unit
The FBON Licensure Unit will review your file.
Once approved, they will email or mail your remediation requirement letter.
4. Provide the Letter to Your Program
Submit the letter to Nuvelle (or your chosen Board-approved provider) as part of your enrollment documents.
💡 Nuvelle Tip: We recommend you cc yourself on the email so you have a copy for your records. Our team can also guide you in drafting and submitting your request to avoid delays.
✅ Step 3: Enroll in a Board-Approved RN Remediation Program
The Florida BON requires remediation to be completed only at approved schools. Not all nursing refresher courses qualify.
At Nuvelle, our Florida BON-approved RN Remediation Program includes:
Instructor-led classes with licensed nurse educators
Clinical hours under direct supervision
Flexible schedules and hybrid learning options
Focused NCLEX review support
✅ Step 4: Complete Coursework & Clinical Training
Every remediation program includes two key components:
Didactic coursework (theory, nursing principles, test prep)
Supervised clinicals (hands-on training in a clinical setting)
This ensures you’re ready to provide safe, effective patient care while building test-taking confidence.
✅ Step 5: Submit Proof of Completion
Once finished, your remediation provider will send documentation directly to the Florida BON confirming you’ve met the requirements.
At Nuvelle, we handle this process on your behalf so you can focus on preparing for your next steps — whether that’s retaking the NCLEX or reinstating your RN license.
