MA License Woes

[NotFlo]

I'm an LPN in CT since 2007. Attended Norwich Tech. The state ran an LPN program for decades at 10 tech school locations. Graduated thousands...every LPN I have ever worked with went there, the APRN I work with started her career at this program. It was a very rigorous, well-regarded program directly overseen by thr CT Dept of Health. Tons of classroom and clinical hours. 

In the interim I've worked 17 years, my license is in good standing, I've won an award or two,  great career for an LPN.

 

Moved to MA. Had a hard time getting all documents sent but finally the Cert of Grad was completed (my program closed so it was difficult to get this done). 

 

Expected a license any day but instead got a message my education doesn't meet MA accreditation standards and to kick rocks. The board sends replies to my questions that are one line and sound automated. 

I personally know many graduates from my program who have obtained a MA license. I spoke to someone who went to Stone Acedemay...which was so bad the state of CT refused to accept credits from it...no issue getting licensed in MA.

I am having a hard time accepting this as I idiotically already moved to and bough a home in MA. 

Grasping at straws but asking for any advice, ideas, way to appeal, experience with this.

Contact your local state representative for assistance with issue as they are experts in dealing with state government boards. Licensing standards from your date of graduation+ first CT license should apply here as active license for 17 years.

Have you sent an email to MA Licensure by  reciprocity: [email protected]  for second review?

Best Wishes in getting BON action to review reciprocity application. Let us know how this turns out.
