Holding GN papers, legal?

Nurses New Nurse

Published

The program that I graduated from is holding our paperwork from the state for 4 weeks. The last graduating class didn't do so hot on the NCLEX, so they wanted to hold them so we would have to wait longer to take it. I want to know if this is legal. I have a job that I can't start due to this, and I can't schedule my NCLEX until after I start working now. I am thinking of hiring a lawyer and getting some legal advise. Any one else have some thoughts or similar situation.

Sounds completely bizzare to me. I would call another school maybe and ask them, or your state nursing board.Best of luck!Tait

I've never heard of that. Have you talked to the school personally about the issue? Are you sure it's not a rumour?
