Florida S0742 amends nursing licensure requirements, including probationary status for programs, provisional licenses, and website publication.

Florida S0742 revises nursing licensure by adjusting probationary status for programs not meeting passage rates, allowing extensions if progress is shown. It mandates the Board of Nursing to publish detailed program data on its website, including graduate passage rates and retention rates. The bill also introduces provisional licenses for new graduates, requiring direct supervision by a licensed nurse and prohibiting practice until the license is issued. Additionally, it requires the Board to request Spanish-language nursing licensing exams by July 1, 2027.
