Who This Program Serves
The Florida Board of Nursing recognizes specific situations that require completion of an approved remedial course. We serve every one of them — using the same evidence-based curriculum, with timing adjusted to your specific pathway.
You've taken the NCLEX three or more times without passing. The Board requires an authorization letter and completion of an approved remedial course before you can test again. We've walked over a thousand nurses through this exact pathway.
FL BON Scenario 1
You earned your nursing credential outside the U.S. and need a structured remediation pathway aligned to U.S. nursing standards and the NCLEX-RN. Our IEN track includes credential alignment, NCLEX preparation, and the documentation Florida requires.
IEN Pathway
You hold an RN license in another Compact state and you're moving your primary residence to Florida. The transfer process can require a remedial course depending on your situation. We'll help you navigate the requirements and complete the coursework efficiently.
Compact Transfer
You passed the NCLEX more than five years ago but never received your Florida license. Florida Administrative Code Rule 64B9-3.014 requires completion of an approved remedial course before licensure can be issued. This track gets you compliant and licensed.
FL BON Scenario 3
You hold an active RN license in another state and need to transfer or endorse it into Florida. Your situation may require a remedial course as part of the endorsement process. We'll work with you to meet the specific requirements your case requires.
Endorsement Pathway
FL BON requirements are situation-specific. On a free 20-minute confidential call, we'll review your case, identify which pathway fits, and give you a clear plan — whether or not you decide to enroll with us.
Schedule a Free CallThe Regulatory Framework
If you're here, you've probably already been told you need a remedial course. Here's what the Board says, in plain English.
The Florida Board of Nursing recognizes three official scenarios that require completion of an approved remedial course. We meet the standards for all three and serve two additional pathways (Compact transfer and license endorsement) where remediation is part of the licensure process.
If you've received any communication from the Florida Department of Health Licensure Unit, the Board, or your testing center indicating remediation is required, we're happy to review the documentation with you on a free confidential call.

Our Methodology
Content + Process + Confidence
Most prep programs sell you content and call it done. The NCLEX PASS Method™ is built on three layers because passing the NCLEX requires all three. Every Merkaii program — including the BON-approved Remediation track — is engineered around this framework.

Since 2019, our administrator has worked with over 1,500 nursing students. The repeat test-takers, the IENs, the nurses navigating Compact transfers and lapsed licensure — these aren't edge cases. They're who this program was built for.

FL BON-Specific Questions
The real questions Florida nurses ask when they're navigating the remediation requirement.
Yes. Our program is administered as Merakii College of Health and is listed on the Florida Board of Nursing's official approved providers page under Registered Nurse Courses. You can verify our listing directly on the FL BON website at floridasnursing.gov. The Board accepts our letters of verification on official letterhead with the remedial course director's signature.
If you've failed the NCLEX three or more times, you'll need an authorization letter before beginning the remedial course. The letter is requested by emailing the Licensure Unit at MQA.NursingAppStatus@flhealth.gov. Note: an authorization letter is not required to begin the theory component, but is required for the clinical portion. We'll walk you through the entire process on your free advisor call — including how to request the letter and what to send.
Three months for repeat NCLEX test-takers and Internationally Educated Nurses. Two months for Compact license transfers, lapsed licensure (5+ years), and standard endorsement cases. Your specific pathway determines the timeline. The longer track allows additional clinical preparation that the Board expects for those two pathways.
The full program tuition is $2,450. We offer 2-month and 3-month installment plans, scholarships for students with documented financial need, and discounted rates for active nursing students. We also work with case-specific situations — schedule a confidential call and we'll find a path that works for you.
Yes. Our IEN track is designed specifically for nurses who earned credentials outside the U.S. and need to align their education with U.S. nursing standards and pass the NCLEX-RN. We'll review your prior credentials, identify gaps, and structure the three-month program around your specific situation.
Upon completion, the Board office accepts an electronically submitted letter of verification on our official letterhead. The letter bears the remedial course director's original signature as proof of authenticity — exactly what the Florida BON requires. We submit this directly on your behalf as part of program completion.
Most of our students do. The program combines live instructor lectures with on-demand content and 1-on-1 coaching, allowing you to balance study with work and family. We design your weekly schedule around your real life.
That's exactly what the free advisor call is for. Florida BON requirements are situation-specific, and getting the right pathway from the start saves time and money. We'll review your case, look at any documentation you have from the Board or Licensure Unit, and tell you honestly which pathway applies — even if the answer is that you don't need a remedial course.
