Hey, Just trying to figure out the best way to get my nursing license switched from N.Y. to Florida. Is there a reliable site that can help or even do it for me? I am getting more confused everyday. Thanks so much...

LiveScan is the service I used and am told the prints are in the system in 24hrs. FDLE is pretty good about getting your background searched quickly.

I did get my license and I am (not so) gainfully employed. I hope you take some beta blockers, the pay here sucks compared to up north.
