If I start nursing school in Florida, (Working for my bachelors) can I do 2 years in Fl and finish the other two in New York? I plan to move back in 2 yrs.

If you are doing a BSN program, typically your first two years are all general education courses and the last two are your nursing courses.
Most of the time there isn’t much issue with transfering gen eds, but each nursing program is usually very adamant about you taking the entire program at one school and won’t let you transfer in. This has to do with the fact that each nursing core is set up a little differently, and courses don’t transfer equally, and, courses are set up sequentially, making it hard to just "jump in". Also, when admissions to all schools are so competative, there are long wait lists, etc., another reason for the school to prohibit people from trying to start in the middle.
I suggest planning ahead early. Figure out what schools will be in the area you will live in, find out their requirements, their policies on transfering into a nursing program.
Another option is you could get your 2 year RN degree before you leave, then when in NY take a RN – BSN completion program. Then there is really no transfering issue.

As long the credits r transferable then i see no problem. Good luck
