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?

@LolaNurse there was four locations of medlife. She decided to separate herself and change the name to palm beach. Palm Beach was closed for sometime so I don't know why they were still taking students. It's up to the board. And thats something you have to ask them. But I think and that just my opinion that no one will be moving forward. And the ones with license who knows

I don't believe they sent everyone letters yet. Probably still going through names

Med life and palm are the same school? ??? Have they came up with a decision, what are they going to do with the students. Some of us put in work. Med life was a closed school ? 

To my understanding med life is placed in this fiasco by default because she used the west palm beach ML license information for her new school which was palm beach school of nursing .

The other medlife locations were not affected by this to my understanding. 

I believe the WPB location has been closed since 2017.

My friend called Med-life at Lauderlakes location and they said the same thing to her. They don't know why NY wants nothing from them but the lady only bought that location and they don't understand why they are in the mess.

The letter clearly states med life from west palm beach.which you guys know what's going on with that lady. Why are you guys panicking

Can the students provide evidence to the state they attend classes. Some students actually attended class and completed the their work.

Actually siting in a seat does not guarantee you were delivered the education you thought your were getting. Blow up the phones with your state congressman/woman.

Here is the site: put in your zip code https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative 

Where I worked we had a relative of the Governor come in for tests......ONLY Tests. The whole room was repainted...new bed,. Great private corner room. 

Politicians do not get the same treatment....  

If the school was closed. How were student able to take the NCLEX? The state also said it was accredited school. How is this the student fault.

The crucial part means were they an accredited by a nursing PROGRAM agency (ACEN, CCNE)??And I mean nursing a true nursing accreditation!  Were they only approved by a minimal standard?

Prospective students shouldn't assume that just because an institution "presents a good face online" it means they're accredited,  Nursing program Accreditation information has to be listed on an online program's website –. along with graduation and NCLEX pass rates. Did you see them? 

Did you have to pay upfront, make monthly payments, pay your bill in full to get your information/graduation/courses completed to the Florida state board? ( The difference between these words creates a lot of problems..1) did you go there thinking your were going to an accredited nursing program?  (a program that really looks at the NURSING part of the program)? 2) Were you provided guided instruction with actual patients....not just pawned off to an R.N. Did you have a dedicated nursing instructor that was there to teach YOU? 

Was it the student's fault? Would you buy a car with less information than it runs well now. I am very glad you posted here because these programs that prey on students' dreams need to have strong regulations to stop the scamming. Florida I am looking at YOU

I am very sorry I was so negative but 'scammers' prey on people not questioning false promises. I truly hope you will be able to get your RN license. Complain to the Florida state and your own state rep. The Department of Education in Florida allowed this to be a money generating activity for the owners.

Keep your sorry, that's your opinion. Some  Innocent  students were not pawned off to an R.N. thank you!

@Joannaj not the first time FBI invesgated that school. First was for overcharging students

Medlife was one of the branches. She wanted to be separate and change the name to palm beach

If FBI investigated before, why didn't fbi shut the school the first time ?
