Hi everyone, I really need to hear from people who have been through this in Florida.

I applied for my RN license in August 2025 and was able to take my NCLEX without any issues. I passed on March 17, 2026, but my license still hasn’t been issued.

It’s been over 7 weeks now, and every time I contact the Florida Department of Health, they just tell me my application is “under review.”

I even went in person to Tallahassee, and they told me the exact same thing with no explanation.

I have no criminal history, no DUI, no felony, nothing missing in my portal.

Has anyone else gone through this and it took this long? What ended up happening in your case?

Did your license eventually get issued, or was there actually a problem behind the scenes?

I’m honestly starting to worry because it’s affecting my job and school plans.

Any advice or personal experiences would really help 🙏

Hi everyone, I’m trying to understand if anyone in Florida has gone through something similar.

I submitted my Florida RN application in August 2025 and was able to take my NCLEX without any problem. I passed my NCLEX on March 17, 2026, but my license still has not been issued.

It has already been more than 6 weeks, and every time I contact the Florida Department of Health, they tell me my application is still under review.

I even went in person to Tallahassee (4 hrs driving) and the only answer they gave me was that my application is still under review, with no other explanation.

I have no criminal history, no DUI, no felony, no disciplinary issues, and nothing appears missing in my portal.

Has anyone had this kind of delay for a first-time Florida RN license after passing NCLEX? If yes, what was the reason and how long did it take before your license was finally issued?

It is starting to affect my work and school plans, so I’m honestly getting worried. Thank you 🙏
