Is this shady?

Published

I found a school that would be willing to accept a majority of my credits. They want me to take an exit exam and then take the NCLEX in the state of Florida. In order for me to get my license here in NY they would have to send transcripts to the NY board. They assured me that I can get my license endorsed but won't respond to emails confirming it. They also refused to let me take the NCLEX in NY directly and instead want me to do it through Florida first. They are approved by the state of Florida and as far as I know haven't graduated an RN class yet and have only up until recently had an LPN program. Should I go through with flying to Florida and taking the exit. I am nervous because they won't confirm in an email that they will send my transcripts to the NY board.

Yes, I told them that I should be able to take it in NY as well. They told me they don't want to send me to the NY board, I have to take it in Florida first and then endorse my license to NY. When I spoke to the NY BON they told me the school will have to send them my transcripts. I have sent them two emails to confirm that once I pass the NCLEX in Florida they will send my transcripts to the NY board and they won't respond to my emails to confirm it. I am now scared of going through with this since I don't want to only be able to work in Florida. 

What is the name of the school ? Did you complete the process or did you go elsewhere ? Where you stuck with just a single Florida license or multi-state license ?

Help Needed!! I attended IDEAL PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTE for the LPN program. Finished Dec. 2019 put off taking my NCLEX-pn because as we know Covid hit Jan.2020. March 2022 I took my test and my unofficial results showed I passed. It's now going on 5 weeks since I tested, have not received anything by mail, email nothing. Called NYS on hold for 2hrs 24mins to be told my file was on hold for education review. Not sure what to do next. The school told me to apply for the Florida endorsement. Can NYS hold my License??

What end up happening ? Did you apply for your initial license in Florida ? Then attempt to endorse to New York?
