[Histonet] Florida--

[Cheryl Kerry]

As I understand it you cannot work in Florida without your license already
in place.  Used to in some cases, but no longer.  ASCP pretty much
guarantees you a license but you still have to do all the paperwork and
wait.  There is no 'temporary' or 'work while waiting' like there is for NY
State.

The best thing is to download the regs and read them. (See link Roxanne
included below).  Don't let the length freak you out--it's written in
English, not technobabble, and the information you need is in the middle
under the requirements section.  Be sure to read the part that applies to
the license you want (HT/2yr or HTL/4yr levels)

If you have your ASCP, there is not another test to take for Florida, just,
CEU classes that you need.  Check out the website link below.

Hi,
   
  Can any of you tell me how the Florida License requirements compare to the

HT(ASCP)?  I am registered with ASCP, but am curious about the FL testing 
process.  My husband just heard about a remotely possible job opportunity in

Melbourne, FL, and I am wondering what it would take for me to, well,
basically, 
get a job down there?
   
  Thanks in advance for any information you can give me,
  Lyn
