Attended Hosanna college and passed NCLEX in NY. Am I in trouble?

[Nurse Beth, MSN]

Unfortunately, the school you attended did not meet the minimum qualifications for RN or PN licensure in many states, and the education you received did not prepare you to practice nursing.

Hosanna College of Nursing Inc., located in Miramar, Florida, was a non-accredited, private, for-profit school that was shut down after cheating the students. The school's owner, Dr. Jackson Augustin, targeted vulnerable students by promising them RN and PN licensure, even though the school was not licensed to operate.

The school has been sued in Massachusetts for operating without a license. In many states, graduates of Hosanna College of Health, Inc. nursing program's RN or PN education are not eligible for licensure.

Moving forward, your best bet is to start over. Research potential schools and make sure they are accredited. Look at their NCLEX pass rates. Starting at a community college can be affordable compared to a for-profit school.

Best wishes,

Nurse Beth

You are so screwed. They're currently investigated nurses that attended this fake school and all will end up with their licenses revoked. Did you do your clinicals?

[P.K]

I have seen a list of schools considered as non-accredited, but not included Hosanna college of Health. Is there any further information about that school?
