I could be wrong, but reading through this, it seems to me that you might have some problems with the endorsement process:

See point 1a on page 3. I could see how they could argue that the requirements for licensure in NY were more lenient since they allowed you to take NCLEX an infinite number of times while Florida requires a refresher course after 3 failed attempts. The application also asks for every time you took NCLEX- if they see that you failed 3x in Florida and then took it for NY to circumvent their requirements for a refresher course, I would hazard to guess that they wouldn't think too highly of that move. The only way to know for sure is to contact the FL Board of Nursing.

I just got off the phone with Florida BON they said it doesn't matter all I need is NCLEX so it will be fine
so you switched yours witn no problem? remember I was doing the same thing too and Ga said no becuase I needed the same amount of school hours as ga
Yes because I went to school in Florida & I'm just switching my license from NY I'm sure if I had went to school in NY there would have been a problem but since I went to school in Florida they said it isn't a problem I'm actually in the middle of doing it now
