Nurse Beth said:

Reputable nursing programs do not allow students to transfer in midstream from another school. Students who do not complete a nursing program in one school must start over when moving to another school.

Nurse Beth said:

Carleen Health Institute submitted your name to the BON as eligible to test even though you did not attend their school. This raised a red flag.

And...there it is. 

Response to JcezzRN,  thanks for your advise. I have a lawyer ready for my case. I also have  transcript and evidence of attending clinical hours from accreditation school. Can you please explained more about process of transferring nursing credit to California school. Is the school accredited?. I am so afraid attending school that's not accredited. I never want to go through this process of nursing scam again. Thanks a lot for your help

Nurse Beth said:

reputable nursing schools do not confer diplomas on behalf of work completed at another school.

I transferred all credit to Carleen. They have a 80% completed nursing program. The school only requires us to take NCLEX course since we already finished our nursing program from previous school.

Nurse Beth said:

I don't know what will happened since I didn't take any classes or clinical from the school beside the NCLEX review they required.

Nurse Beth said:

. I don't want to be called a fraud because I am not. In fact I am a victim.

You came into the school with 80% completed nursing program. You said " I didn't take any classes or clinical from the school beside the NCLEX review" .  What happened to the other 20%???

The quotes were taken from a letter to Dear Beth. This still begs the question......

Right, there's some glitch... the question stands and is asked of the OP ?

To answer your question. I completed 100 % of nursing program from other school except the exit exam. Carleen school has the program called 80%. That's just how they define their courses. It doesn't mean that I didn't finished the whole nursing program. If you want to know what happened to the 20%. Feel free to call the school and ask them directly. . The school accepted all my credit from previous nursing program and the only thing we require to take is NCLEX review course. That's all I know.

I'm still confused.  You complete 100% of a program but didn't take an exit exam?  Why not and could you still take it now?  NO ONE is going to issue a diploma to you if you didn't attend their classes.  Why would they unless they were a criminal enterprise attempting to fleece you of money?  The fact that they led you to believe they would sell you a diploma is a huge red flag.  I'm still not understanding why anyone would walk away from having completed a program except an exam and expecting someone else to do this for you.  Have I misinterpreted what you have said? 

I did try to take the exit exam from the school but I didn't passed. School HESI requires 80 percentage to pass and I got 79. They want me to repeat the whole program. If it would you...will you start the program from the beginning and repeat the exit exam with the fear you may or may not passed the exit by 1 point?

What a joke, schools don't do it because of their name, and or accredition, but it's money making for them to have students do the whole program all over instead of taking transfer credits like it's done for all other professions except for nursing
