Not sure what you are asking. Where is your associates/diploma from? How much time do you have as an RN outside the state of Florida?

I totally did answer that in another post, but I will do it again. If your RN is accepted by the Florida BON, then you will be just fine with the BSN because the BSN is not the degree you will be licensed with. EC only has the RN-BSN program, so the student must have a license to practice in their state. The BSN part is like a cherry on top; it's as acceptable as a history degree or geology degree in any state because it's not the degree that needs to meet licensure requirements.

The RN-BSN is accredited. One can get federal student loans because of this status. You will be able to have "RN, BSN" on your nametag wherever you work when you graduate.
