Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 David M. Thought you might like to see who is retiring and who is not. Florida is up to 2683 licensure numbers in 2009 for APs of which 1,965 are currently active (agrees with Benjamin's stats) before the next renewal cycle due on 2/28/2010. It is interesting to note that of the 718 no longer actively licensed the following is the stats: Those originally licensed anywhere from 1980 up through 2000 who are no longer active TOTAL = 488. (Reasonable for a twenty year period). Those actively licensed from 2000 to present (10 yr period) who are no longer active TOTAL = 230 or 32% of the group who are no longer licensed for the overall thirty year period.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 A small percentage as with all states, and other healthcare licensing...... move. Life happens. An overwhelming majority of the active licensees in Florida live in state. Richard In a message dated 11/30/2009 8:19:15 P.M.

This sort of thing is consistent and has been for years, but is amplified when the econimy makes licensure fees seem less attractive.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Actually with the current economic situation in FL, being worse then in some other places, it might be plausible that they are moving to another state. Anyway, it appears that no one really knows. Maybe we can get some actual data on this license thing. Michael W.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 It was always my impression that many people get licensed as soon as they can do so (soon after taking the exam(s)), in Florida, so that they have a side vocation when they retire there. It was my point that these people might not feel they can afford to move and just gave up on their dream......
