    Rose Queen, I think the OP *HAS* to apply to the FL BON for licensure because the school is not recognized/approved by other BONs. Huge red flag that I hope the OP will

    I would not attend if it's not an accredited program. What they told you about your NCLEX is incorrect, generally speaking. You can apply with ANY state BON to take the NCLEX, once you have an ATT. So...
