Nursing Education Programs (HB121)

Score:

91

%

Florida

2026

Raises standards for Florida nursing schools. The Board of Nursing can deny or revoke programs tied to problems in other states or past failing owners. Programs must report more data, post exit exam results, support at-risk students, and missing reports can trigger termination. Low licensure pass rates mean faster probation with no extensions; very low rates require tuition refunds. Probationary schools must disclose status and fund remediation. Health staff may inspect programs. Expect fewer weak programs and better-prepared nurses.
