Has anyone heard of Ideal Professional Institute School of Nursing?

Updated:   Published

I found an online nursing school, "Ideal Professional Institute," and I can't find any reviews about it. Does anyone have any experience or hear anything about it? It is located in Miami, Florida. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Anyone who has graduated from this school please note that NYS  BON has this school under review and won't be allowing any of its graduates to sit for NCLEX or be licensed by NYS while the review is taking place.

The Professional Nursing program at Progressive College of Florida trains students to acquire skills comparable to the demands of the healthcare industry.

(grammar matters on a website) like "students."

Quote

The professional nursing program consists of 99 semester credit hours.

An associate degree is 60 semester credit hours, including prerequisites and nursing courses. They are padding the course requirements within the program (for more money) and getting an additional (third) more $$$.

I cannot find the citation right now, but if a Florida nursing program is closed for poor pass rates, there is at least a 3-year timeline before they can open another school. If they couldn't deliver a competent graduate program for years, why would they know how to do it now?

2020 NCLEX pass rate: 17.93%

Q1: 14.81%

Q2: 13.89%

Q3: 15.09%

Q4: 25.77%

2021 pass rate:

Q1: 14.56%

Q2: 10.58%

And these numbers are only for those taking NCLEX within six months of graduating. Many schools institute an exit exam to stall the student from taking the test within six months of graduating - so their failures don't count on the school statistics.

Operators who run a program that is closed by Florida cannot start another school for three years, I believe.

Here is the outcome of "Ideal."

Their organization/school is listed.
