Getting a job with RN from Ideal Professional Institute?

[Lexus L.]

Has anyone ever gotten a job after graduating from there?

[NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN]

Florida Board of Nursing list of nursing programs only has Ideal Professional Institute listed as approved LPN program on probationary status; it is not on the BON RN program list.

Finding a job as a graduate is the least of your worries. Passing NCLEX after graduating from this school is the big hurdle.

Yes I saw that. Are students who are going there for RN able to sit for NCLEX still? What happens if you go to a school not approved?

[NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN]

Please contact the  FL BON to confirm this school is approved.

Graduates of nursing programs not approved by the state where they are located,  are not given permission to take NCLEX and can not get a nursing license in FL or any other state. Additionally,  most other nursing programs will not accept this schools nursing courses for credit.

You don't have to worry about these questions if you don't go there.

Trust me- Don't. Go. There.

DON'T DO IT.

How are they even in business with their abysmal NCLEX pass rate? You'd think the state would have shut them down by now.

[klone, MSN, RN]

Their RN program is just a bridge program - you have to already hold an LPN to get your RN there. The fact that that pass rate is for people who already hold their LPN, thus should already have some clinical background/knowledge, is even more alarming.

Pass rate from 2016 -2020 is 14.56%.
