I am having such a terrible time. I went to a school named Ideal Professional Institute in Florida and paid $16,000 dollars for an associates degree. I did everything including the HESI online while proctored and attended clinicals in person, and I currently live in Houston.
After I graduated and applied for NCLEX, the Texas board of nursing is rejecting my application and several other students. I just found out that the school is under probation in Florida for LVN and is permanently banned for RN. I did RN.
The school officials are refusing to give me my refund. I sent my affidavit of graduation and they are not replying to TBON's demands. I feel stuck and they won't refund my money. I am so depressed.
How do I get a refund? I'm poor so I can't afford a lawyer, How do I report the school and get it shut down? They are still scamming other students currently.
Hello, I have the Florida RN license and I want to transfer it to NY as I live in NY, though I passed from NYBON, but as they were not issuing me my license so I got Florida license. Can now I transfer my license to NY, previously they were saying you can not as your school is not accredited. Is there any way to transfer my license from FL to NY, or who would be the knowledgable person to get info from? Thanks
You can try for A limited RN from NYBON and work in new jersey. Thats what a couple of my classmates did but that was last year and I believe the law changed in 2024 there in NY. Im located in California and its an absolute NO. It was a approved school in FL we went to but you probably read my post already. Very sorry this difficult lesson with all the time spent studying.
Thank you, for your input. I will look to switch my field and continue studying exploring new fields, as I am foreign MD and MPH from U.S, but as with this icensing issues, I am back on my MD track and just studying for my license exam.
