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?

Hey all I wanted to let you know that NYBON will stop sending out NCLEX scores for schools under review. I just got off the phone with them for an update on my license and this is what they've told me. If you are considering having your scores sent to FL or anywhere else I would do this ASAP or you will be stuck until the review is over.

There has been a change to the  NYS BON policy of sending out a passing grade report, for nurses who went to a school that is currently under review. (I.E. Palm Beach, Techni-Pro, Azure)

Previously, if an applicant went to an under review school and had managed to pass the NCLEX exam, but was not granted a license, then they could request that a passing grade report be mailed to another state. They would use this passing grade report as a basis for becoming licensed in the other state , but they could not endorse the license back to New York at this time.

From now on NYS BON will no longer send the passing grade results to another state. The file is on-hold and we will not verify the applicants information to the other state. they will no longer offer this as an option or fullfill the caller's request

Very interesting experience you had, I am glad you over came the odds through it all. Once you complete your BSN do plan on reapplying to NY?

@londonflo what does that mean for the people that graduated in 2017, 2018 etc before it was closed caused the board was accepting it before

T Jasmine if you have not passed the NCLEX in NY apply for another unlimted state my friend went to medlife and NY would not issue her a ATT .She went to another unlimted state passed the exam and is waiting for CT to approve her license from the state she tested in they told her they have no issues with approving it. Although she will not be able to work in NY until she gets a BSN or until the investigation is over. CT is close enough for her to work and also New Jersey. You might try this route. Good luck to you .

 

 

No updates on schools but was told that if your nursing school is under review and you passed, going to another nursing school will not help because a) you aren't permitted to take exam again b) it still all boils now to the school information that originally  made you eligible for NCLEX.... so bottom line  don't hold your breath on NYS right now.

@starr2022 according to Pearson view you can. They will just override the system and according to the New York Board of Nursing you just have to update your education to be issued the license if you take that route as to going back to school.

OK. It all makes sense. But don't understand why they revoked license, was it due to something medically filed against you. Cause in 2021 this school was not on hold. And also its been know that there have been a red flag raised on a group of people in Washington for not actually attending the school

My friend went to carleen for the review after she couldn't pass the exit at southeastern college she is now freaking out that they might revoke her license, she's license in Florida don't if she can move to another compact state to work as an RN she got her license beginning of 2020. 

Nurses may only hold a compact license in the state in which they legally reside. If she moves, she will need to become licensed in the new state. If the new state won't endorse her license, then she's a little stuck.

I think she was license in ny and results on hold which is true for educational review 

Not sure if you guys were talking about me. I know one of you keeping asking if my license get revoked. No. I did not get revoked. My license still active in Florida. I graduated from Florida and not from NY. I also took Florida exam and get multi compact state. The problem I encountered is when I try to endorsed my RN license to my state which is Washington and they denied my application because the school is unaccredited and did not meet Washington minimum requirements.

What I'm trying to understand is that if 3 schools were part of the fraud investigation by FBI and were reported on the news why are other people posting that these other schools were part of it? The other schools weren't mentioned on the news so let's not start spreading information that we don't have all the details on.

the other schools that are being mentioned are because NYS or other states are reviewing them not necessairily federally. they can still be getting transcripts for people who did not actually go to the school. or to a school that isn't even offering a nursing program.... I heard there is a school in florida   when searched is coming up as a theology school yet NYS has been getting transcripts from people saying they got ASN from that school.

a reliable source

Guys this will be probably my last post here 

The starr lady is correct . All these schools currently on the list are being investigated. This was confirmed today from a super reliable source . 

I want to say if you actually went to one of these schools and have evidence that u actually have the designated clinical and classroom hours to stay the course and fight for your profession.

However, if you're a fraud and bought a diploma or transcript hang it up it's over . The investigation is coming hard .

To the people with the appropriate documentation seek legal counsel and be prepared it's not over til it's over .


I wish u all the best !
