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?

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. 

The reason they denied your applications it's not because the school is not accredited because you don't really have to graduate from accredited school to get a license here in WA, it's because the school is "neither Commission approved or not equivalent to Commission approved nursing education in Washington".

Carleen RN program is now gone only Lpn program 

That is not what their web site says:

http://www.carleenhealthinstitute.org/associate-in-science-in-nursing-.html

Applications for the Associate in Science in Nursing are no longer being accepted at the Lauderhill campus. Applications for enrollment in this program are still being accepted at the West Palm Beach and Palm Bay campuses.

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.

And the problem was just begun:

I just hope those people know GA is going to send that list of names to all the other states and to their employers.

They literally didn't even attend school , they bought the degrees from those 3 schools they should have their licenses revoked no doubt about it....

 The FBI sent the names to all BON that have the nurses registered. We are going to see more news of state BONs taking action like this as time goes on.

Yea for those 3 schools. They've known since the 17th of Jan.

I don't think they should even be given 30 days to turn in their nursing licenses. How about STAT

Agreed...time will tell
