How To Become a Remote Nurse Practitioner in Florida
If you want to obtain a license to become a nurse practitioner in Florida, you must first have a registered nurse state license, which means completing the steps outlined by the Florida Board of Nursing. Once prospective remote nurse practitioners in Florida meet the preliminary requirements, including RN licensures, you need to pursue the following:

- Certification: National certification from an approved nursing specialty board.
- Fee: Florida’s APRN application and licensure fee is $110, but you may be subject to other fees.
Requirements for Remote Nurse Practitioners in Florida
Once you earn your nurse practitioner license, you can decide which type of full-time nurse practitioner work suits you best in Florida, whether you live in Miami, Tampa, or any other part of the Sunshine State.
If you want to become a remote nurse practitioner (also referred to as a telemedicine nurse practitioner) or work-at-home nurse practitioner, there are plenty of full-time and part-time remote work opportunities available in Florida.
Here’s what you should know before applying:
- Work-from-home nurse practitioner or remote nurse practitioner: These licensed nurse practitioners can live outside the area of the healthcare provider’s institution in which they work. There may be some on-site work at a medical center, but you will mostly telecommute.
- Additional training: The standard of patient care in telehealth is the same as in-person care, and there is no state-mandated training specific to virtual care. However, telemedicine companies often provide training to educate clinicians on how to use relevant technology and platforms, as well as best practices for good bedside manner.
- Necessary documentation: When applying for remote jobs, be sure to update your resume and provide appropriate documentation showing your education and credentials.
Telehealth companies often post open positions on job posting sites like Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn, so this is a great place to start looking for virtual care opportunities. Wheel matches clinicians with virtual care opportunities and has a variety of positions available for NPs in Florida.
Florida Nurse Practitioner FAQs
Can a nurse practitioner have their own practice in Florida?
An NP in Florida can run their own practice independently after administering supervised care for an initial period of 3,000 practice hours. The supervising physician does not need to be present when all medical services are administered during this initial period, but they may need to authorize some procedures before an NP carries them out.
In what states can NPs practice independently?
NPs are permitted to practice without physician oversight in full-practice-authority states. The Floridian state legislature granted its NPs full-practice authority in March 2020, allowing Florida NPs to provide family medicine, pediatric, and internal medicine services independently after logging 3,000 hours of practice under a physician's supervision.
