Nybon Nursing School Under Investigation

I finished my LPN-RN program from Carleen Health Institute. I took the NCLEX under New York state board and passed the exam. I'd been waiting on the license a couple of weeks and decided to call NYbon, was told the school is under review - hence they would not be issuing any licenses till the review is done. They also wouldn't give a time frame. Does anyone have any idea how long these reviews usually take or what could be done in situations like this?

If that is true how come they can't do it for others? I have been going back and forth since July 2023 so I find that hard to believe 

Specializes in Dialysis.

Has anyone heard an update I've been waiting since March 22. I passed my NCLEX days after the investigation started. My school is not on the list of fraud school. But under review for education. Just don't understand how NY is giving and allowing other nurses that have education from other 3rd countries a license. But  not giving student who went to a US approved school that was accredited and on the us education website a license. I've already passed my NCLEX twice and my still won't release my license or original score.

Yes we will not see the draft of this upcoming meeting until the next board meeting after this one. If you look at all previous meetings, this is how they do things. Thank you for the update @NRSKarenRN.

the link below shows a list of open Florida schools and their present-day status( what NYS is using)  if your school is not listed below it maybe closed and that is why it is on hold by NYS  to determine reason why it is closed and the status when they closed

All schools from Florida will be under scrutiny.  One of Herzings campuses are approved. Did you go to that one? Also if you finished when the program was accredited, that won't matter. NYS is looking at the school's current status which isn't fair in my opinion but that is how they are doing it. You need to call NYBON because they are the only ones that can clarify for you. That department is only available Tuesdays and Thursdays. 518-474-3817 ext. 280.

Wait what do you mean "it won't matter"? Does it not matter that it is accredited? And which of the one campus of herzings campus is approved? Sorry, I am just lost. I went to school in Louisiana, not the one in Florida. The program was accredited back in 2022 and I finished in 2023, so I graduated when it was accredited. I am definitely calling them tomorrow.

SO new york BON  has an in house list that the Nursing processing unit it using so it won't be available to the general public

as far as the Accreditation status yes we look at only present day status of the school.  the reason for that, is that when a school is going through the Accredidation renewal process( audit), documents  test scores, and what ever else they look at are from years prior so if thing are off then that how a college can loose an accredidation

So if my school is fully accredited since 2022, and I graduated in 2023, then I should be good to go correct? Just making sure I fully understand because I would be devastated if I went to a fully accredited school and NYBON denies me 😞
