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?

National accreditation is a step above "state approved" and a step below programmatic accreditation...

Programmatic accreditation is the biggest step above state, national,  and cousin bob's approval of a program. You are giving thousands of dollars away for a piece of paper. Betsy Devos milked the system for all she could. If you are not 100% on board that ALL nursing programs need to have programmatic accreditation you may rethink getting on board

I think that this is how they should do things for sure going forward but what about those who went to programs not on federal fraud list and passed the boards. Alot of schools were approved not accredited but they should let us through. We passed before any emergency action was put in. We shouldn't fall into this new category. We did the course work and clinicals that were required of us and it wasn't easy work. We had to study hard. If it wasn't for this debacle, we would of had our licenses a long time ago. It's the people that decided to sell transcripts and diplomas without school work or clinicals that are the real culprits. They have the list of everyone already. The feds did the leg work. We are not a part of that. How many other nurses passed from said programs working already from before. Are they going to revoke everyone else? I don't think so. NYBON needs to take that into consideration and let us through. We just want to further our careers. God willing they let us through, right back to school for me for MSN from an accredited program.

I certainly hope for the best for you - but I would not expect a quick resolution to this situation. The NY Board is notoriously slow- and very meticulous in their reviews of everything that is their domain...This certainly won't be resolved in a few months.

I hope so also. I passed since January but some people posted that they have been waiting longer than a year but I hope doesn't happen to us waiting.

star2022-I want to know what happens to the waiting people because their school is under review and if the NYC board does not accept their education, do our NCLEX scores get wipeout?

I just found this on the NM BON site on transferring NCLEX scores. I would assume a similar process is in place in all states.

"The NCLEX score transfer process allows candidates who have passed the NCLEX, but are not yet licensed in the jurisdiction that made them eligible, to transfer their score to another jurisdiction via NCSBN. The NRB, who initially made the candidate eligible, will need to provide the exams operations team (via email to [email protected]) with a formal letter, from the candidate, requesting the transfer. This letter should include candidate identification information and contain the candidate's signature (a sample template is available from NCSBN upon request).

NCSBN will contact the desired jurisdiction of licensure to confirm acceptance of the score transfer. Upon approval, NCSBN will work with Pearson VUE to transfer the candidate's NCLEX record, in NCLEX Administration, and confirm the successful score transfer to both jurisdictions.

Additional information on the Re-entry and Score Transfer processes can be found in Chapters 2 and 5 respectively of the NCLEX Member Board Manual and NCLEX Administration Manual."

This is all going to be dependent on NY being willing to release the scores to the new BON, from the sound of it.

Thats Northern Marina Islands, you have to call NYBON about that each country and state have there own set of rules amd regulations, you can ask NYBON to send the candidate report to Florida but again its up to the supervisor to make that call.

Actually that's the New Mexico Board of Nursing site... ?

I didn't know, I just went off what I read off the seal on the link you posted, srry but regardless and hope it this all resolves and works in everyone favor!

Yikes! You're absolutely right! I should have known...there are very few oceans in New Mexico...LOL! Thanks for the catch!

NYBON was doing it before but as of now, if your education is under review then your scores are on hold until review is over. As of now we also don't know if they will wipe out scores if education is not accepted. The last time I spoke with someone they said I could submit another education but wouldn't have to take the NCLEX again. That's funny as if someone in this situation would really have another education to submit just having passed NCLEX. Really ridiculous if you ask me. Based on what they did with schools from Feds list, they may do the same for educations not approved. It's just a waiting game until they make an official announcement. I pray that let us through or offer some type of conditions to be met instead of wiping everything out. Besides having to start all over, the money lost paying for the education is another thing, @starr2022 Thanks for info and information you have provided thus far. Your input on this would be much appreciated so we can get an idea on where we stand.

When I called Florida BON April 2023 they said if NY is not accepting your license because of your school you can go to a school they are accepting do your RN over and NCSBN will override the system that you can sit for your NCLEX. NYBON & NCSBN will communicate to each other and allow you to sit for the NCLEX. I saw someone say NYBON told them you don't have to retake the NCLEX you just have to complete a new nursing program that they are accepting but on the NYBON website it states you have to submit education that allowed you to sit for NCLEX.
