NCLEX PN Result in New York - NYSED asking for Infection Control Training

Published

I still don't have the result after I took my NCLEX PN exam last Oct 27, 2014 . I never tried the PVT coz I know its not working or accurate anymore. Also I don't avail the quick result feature of the exam.

Instead of result, I received a letter from NYSED/Board of Nursing dated Oct 29, 2014, 2 days after I took my exam. The letter was asking for a proof of my Infection Control Training to be submitted via fax or email which I completed last 2012. So after I called the NYSED , I ask my friend to help me to do the fax of my certificates and I also sent an email with attachments yesterday. My anxiety is in the highest level everyday! =( Still praying for a good result. Who among you guys experienced this ?????

That's so bizaare. I told mine October 29th and got my result October 31st. Does it say your accounts on hold? Try to see of the ny state BON has your name and license on it.

Just checked the NYSED BON website and my name is not there... =( Yes its bizarre VanessaK83, what I received last November 3 was a piece of bondpaper stating the website of the accredited online school where I can complete the said training which I already completed two years ago.

Is that training mandatory for all?? I've never known that you needed t

Yes VanessaK83, its part of our requirements when we apply for NCLEX especially if the applicant's education is outside the United States/New York. Its mandatory here in New York State.

All dentists, dental hygienists, licensed practical nurses, optometrists, podiatrists, and registered nurses must complete course work or training appropriate to their practice regarding infection control and barrier precautions, including engineering and work controls to prevent the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the hepatitis b virus (HBV) in the course of professional practice, every four years according to Section 6505-b of the Education Law. You must attest to having completed this requirement to the State Education Department on your first licensure/registration application and at every subsequent registration.

Aside from that online exam, we also need to complete a Child Abuse Maltreatment/Neglect Identification Reporting.... (As what I have said I already completed these two , 2 years ago) .... I hate this feeling right now... WORRIED -_-

It's covered in the last part of nursing school; the thing is a 20-question quiz, no big deal. That and the Mandated Child Abuse Reporter requirement students usually don't even remember dealing with, because it's part of the curriculum.

When you renew, though, you're responsible to know all the requirements for renewal, mandated courses, CEUs (depending on State you're in).

If your course was completed only two years ago, it seems the BoN just needs the proof. Submit it, call them to verify receipt; sounds like a paperwork drop is all.

One of my friend lend his credit card and I just found out this afternoon that I passed the NCLEX PN via quick result. THANK GOD!!! He is really amazing. Still waiting for my license to appear in BON Website. Thank you everyone for your advice. Time to prepare for NCLEX RN this December or early next year. =)

No problem. Have you spoken with the BoN recently, asked if they just needed the proof submitted? You can fax that to them, I'd think.

You aren't going to see your license number posted because you won't GET a license number if there's anything holding it up! Passing the NCLEX is fabulous (congrats, btw!) but you need to have all the paperwork in order at the State BoN in order to get a license at all.

Where are you with that?
