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?

Florida BON just approves the curriculum as stated when it is delivered to them. They cannot do site visits to actually see what is happening. It used to be that a for-profit school had to have a 10% below national  average (usually 82-85%) for 3 years running.. Schools started instituting an 'exit exam' to bar low performing students from graduating.

The State instituted a new criteria. Schools had to obtain accreditation for CCNE or ACEN within 5 years or less for long time existing schools. But unfortunately even after a school knew they were going to lose approval they continued to admit students, collect tuition and fees. 

Everyone needs to complain to the Florida Department of education, the FBON, the Office of the Governor ,I have read here he is VERY business $$$ focused. (I don't live in Florida so don't know) but it  is best to contact every congressperson or state senator ) if you are effected. One in 17 nurses is a Registered voter. We count and we can hurt them in an election.  Stop waiting for NYS or other states 

Also send letters to the ANA and your local SNA. Aren't they there to protect our education and license? 

AS they say here:

But I tried to list their address for letters but there is none listed. Plenty of ways to pay for ANA enterprises (like ANCC, copyright request, publishing,  jobs etc.) Guess they are not interested in hearing from us. carleen1.jpg.b30d2fac638bb7bd53324d1b406bd609.jpg

Thank you for this information. can the state have some students take courses that are missing?

Updated list of nursing schools NYS BON has under review

No ATT's or licenses for graduates of the schools listed below...

I see they now added Sigma. This definitely from me as I graduated 2020 but passed the NCLEX just recently. My school was FBON approved when I graduated but closed in Feb 2022 from poor pass rates. They were on probation also mid 2021 for low NCLEX pass rates.

How is this new information when it's basically the same thing we know. That no one is getting ATT or licenses until review is complete. 

It is new because my school wasn't on this list before.

All of those schools were there. If people are just waiting for stuff to be posted here you will never know anything.

Sigma Institute was not there. Trust me I know because I have been following a while. This was just recently added. Check the previous list added before.

I also called NYBON before and they did say my school was under review. The second time I called, they used the word investigation. My school wasn't on this list then but it is now.

Like I said I also saw that list and knew schools were missing. I don't wait for anything to be posted here. When you call NYBON some of them use investigation and some use the word review. All of those schools are there and more are coming for those who actually post the list out to this group they will eventually update it again.

Yes I agree I worked so hard to get here and now I don't have a license yet ..do they have attorneys specifically for nurses?
