Do Florida respiratory therapists or nurses need HIV/AIDS for license renewal?
As of July 1, 2006, licensees will no longer be required to take an HIV/AIDS course for each renewal. An applicant or newly licensed respiratory therapist is required to take an approved 3 hour HIV/AIDS course. The Florida Board of Nursing requires HIV/AIDS as a one-time, 1-hour CE requirement to be completed prior to the first renewal.
