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?

I graduated in 2020 before they lost their approval so that’s why I was able to sit for the NCLEX according to the person I spoke to from Florida Board of Nursing.

When did the school enable you to take boards? Is this one of those instances where the school holds you back for a certain score on an exit exam?

Londonflo: OK... there is a shortage of nurses willing to work in the inpatient setting. I agree.

Minimal competency is what is required from all new grads. According to Patricia Benner, Stage 1 Novice: "Behavior in the clinical setting is very limited and inflexible. Novices have a very limited ability to predict what might happen in a particular patient situation". Sadly, in the current health care climate many are not getting a good orientation.

You can just Google Goodwill MA program Nevada. It's through Intermountain Health Care

The Goodwill in Vegas is putting medical assistants through a 90 day training program. Medical assistants are floating for clinic RNs in some states. 

Please, tell me more about this. Is this Goodwill Industries

Yes, do tell.  Particularly about these states that are floating MAs as RNs.  And please provide sources documenting this.

Goodwill Southern Nevada MA Program Train to Hire...

Quote

Presented in concert with NV Careers and Intermountain Healthcare, Goodwill's 90-Day MA program is an accelerated medical assistant training course developed to help alleviate the severe health care worker shortage in Southern Nevada.

The 90-Day MA program trains candidates who have a caring disposition, customer service orientation, and an interest in a professional healthcare career. Students who successfully complete the program qualify for a paid 1,440-hour apprenticeship with Intermountain Healthcare while they earn their Medical Assistant certificate....

Intermountain Healthcare seeks to hire 125 qualified medical assistants in the next two years, with a career ladder starting as a Medical Assistant I, then progressing to MA II, MA III and MA IV. The MA IV earns wages akin to a Registered Nurse with a bachelor's degree.

Minimal competency on a paper and pencil test is far from practicing  with real patients in a novice role or else there would ne no orientation (that builds on knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired from  (at least) an adequate nursing program.  

Are you advocating that anyone can take the NCLEX and if passing, can be a novice nurse?

The OP is not just "anyone". She attended nursing school and was allowed to sit for the exam. I'm curious to know the reason for the school's lack of accreditation. 

I've come across some new grads who completed an accredited, accelerated bachelor's (BA or BS in another field) to MSN in just 19 months. They were making some major errors.

Let's be honest... nursing school did not prepare most of us for real world nursing. It led us to believe we'd have adequate resources in an environment where everyone would follow policy and procedure.

I am too. Is it accreditation or approval the program is lacking? With the limited information on the internet I do not see any attempt by the school for nursing program accreditation.

With approval there is not a lot of evaluation of the program beyond what is on paper and the percent who pass NCLEX in Florida.

TBH I think the OP just wanted to know if anyone is experiencing this setback or has experienced Board of Nursing holding their license because the nursing school they attended was under review and what was the outcome.

I totally agree. I posted follow up posts because there are a lot of programs in Florida similar to Carleen's that are deficient in NCLEX pass rate (really deficient) and they are not cited until they have 3 years of pass rates below 10% of the pass rate nationally. Say the national pass rates (for an example) is 80%, A Florida school will be okay with approval if it stays above 70%.

I am thrilled the OP posted on here to highlight his/her problem.

Hi, has anyone came up with a solution to this problem ? I myself passed my NCLEX but the school is not releasing transcripts for me to be able to get endorsed in my state. So I’m only licensed in Florida and I’m unable to work in the state that I live in. Please let me know what solutions you guys have came up with. Thank you. 

Am having the same issue with my and was told they are under investigation by NYS and no att licenses will be given out they don’t know when the investigation will be done.

Having the same problem with NYBON passed my NCLEX-pn March 2022 and was told that my file was on hold for school review. Went ti Ideal professional Institute in Miami Gardens, Florida. School is on probation for low pass rate. why would they let me take the national test and hold my test scores from Pearson-vue? I have applied for the Florida endorsement and all they need from NY is my exam verification. All my other paperwork has been approved.
