Hi any info is greatly appreciated. I graduated from this school in 2016 LPN to RN transition . As you may know this school is cash only no financial aid. I owed money. Never sat for the board. Thanks to COVID I was able to save money. I reach out to Carleen and they agree if I pay they will let me sit for the board. My gut feeling said check BON. Sure enough only approved for LPN. My heart broke. Trust me I am full of regret. I screwed up in so many ways. I call back and they act surprised and insist I can sit for the boards. I want to believe the dean. But since she isn’t acknowledging they lost approval . I was on the phone with BON 2 hours. At first the rep said they are still approved. So I insisted are you sure? I only see for LPN finally she realizes it and says yes only LPN. So I asked because I graduated while they still had approval would I be allowed to take the Boards? She transfers me and ultimately disconnected. I call back and placed on hold again until now it’s after business hours on a Friday…

what are my options. I rather stay an LPN than start from scratch again.

That's horrible. I am sorry you're going through this. I graduated when they were still approved as well and just took the NCLEX this past November. What are your plans as of now? Did you get any other new information on possibly sitting for NCLEX-RN?

I went there as well, got my RN then went on to a university and did my BSN. The trouble I have is getting some states' licensure by endorsement. That's a problem because I mainly travel and it is frustrating whenever I am denied an RN license due to attending Carleen school. Some states bypass her school altogether and review the transcript from the University I attended, while others deny it saying her school was the foundation for my higher education... Rock and a hard place...

What states approve your RN endorsement? I'm currently in the process of endorsing to NJ and I went to Carleen health institute. I've been pending my NJ RN license for over a year now. NJ BON asked me to fill out 26 questions about Carleen health institute, about tuition, schooling, where did I take my clinical, ect. Now they are asking for proof of me living in FL while attending Carleen Health institute. I'm slowly giving up hope...

Is it because Carleen is under investigation? I hope they are not doing this to all schools.

For those of you who went to Carleen Health institute in west Palm Beach for 80%complete nursing program, please be ready since the school is under investigated by state. I was in the 80% complete nursing program and graduation from this school since 2021 and pass the board. As you all know the school now is under review. Like most of you. We are the victim. I finished nursing program from different school but couldn't pass exit exam. My scores was 905 and they needed 925. Therefore, I transfer all my credit to this school and took NCLEX course review and pass the class. I did attend the 6 weeks in class course for NCLEX review and graduates. That's all they required from me. I did what the school requires us to do. Now I have a feeling that I maybe in trouble because the school didn't requires us to do any clinical. I did all my clinical from previous school. Just so you know. I am not one of those student who never went to nursing school and just bought fake transcript. In fact, I pass all my nursing class with B average. My anxiety take over me when I take exit exam. Unfortunately if you don't pass exit exam , you don't get your degree. I was sad until I heard about this program. I don't believe if you couldn't pass HESI, you couldn't pass NCLEX. I transfer all my credit to Carleen thinking the program was approved by the state that's why they able to enrolled many student and able to sit for NCLEX. Carleen give me second chance and I pass my state exam first try. Now I am not too sure what will happen to me since the school is suspended and under review. Any advise ....please help. please excuse all the grammar and punctuation as English is not my first language

This happen to me too, I dk what is going to happen with the school. Put my job is under investigating me now so I have to wait until their investigation is over.

Sorry to hear about your job. To be honest it doesn't look good on the school. My main concern is that their program may not even approved by the state. I am so fearful that it not only effecting my RN license but my LPN also be effective as well. Keep our finger cross. I believe their investigation will be completed by the end of march

The school is fraudulent and we are the victim.
