NJ Endorse License

[GenerationalRN]

Hi all,

Has anyone try to get a NJ endorsed with FL multistate from Carleen Health Institute as of recent. Were there any that had to answer a report request about the school from NJ BON.

[NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN]

Carleen Health Institute is no longer listed on FL BON Nursing Education Programs site as an approved school for ADN or BSN program. It's  previous NCLEX pass rate was < 30%.    So a report request about this school not unexpected -need to determine if program was approved at time of your graduation and meets NJ licensure regulations. 

As with many small FL programs with questionable BON approval and low NCLEX rate --program not well known by outside FL BON staff, may be difficult to obtain licensure if unable to validate above information.

RN and LPN Licensure Application - Complete if you do not have a valid NJ Nursing license

Quote

The previously used "Examination" and "Endorsement" applications have been combined into one "Candidate" application. Apply by "Candidate" if you are seeking a NJ license as an RN or LPN, and you've never been licensed before or you're licensed in another state. A multistate Compact license will be issued if you meet the requirements. A single state NJ license may be issued if you do not meet the requirements for a Compact license.
