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?

womennurse@22 Can I talk to you through email? I wanted to ask you a few questions.

anyone know what the situation is for FL grads who got their license in NY, and the school is NOT on the fraud list, if they want to endorse license to another state?

You shouldn't have a problem if not on list.

There are NY licensed nurses from fraud list going back to school.

the nurses I know from my school aren't getting att or if they have an att nybon is telling them that they may not issue them license. I got it before 4/18. This is why I'm nervous about trying to endorse it to other states. 

my school is not on the list and got national accreditation recently

If there not giving students att now that went to your school I would trend lightly cause NY is most likely investigating. What state do u want to endorse if I may ask

CT and NJ

@Maria30 @Lexus L. I passed my exam May 4th, and I'm still waiting. My school wasn't listed on the fraud report as well, but my license is still on hold. I spent the last 7 years trying to pass this exam. FL has offered re-entry ( to test again), but Its very difficult for me to accept that. I don't know if I should wait or retest

If NY hasn't given license, who know when that will be. And retesting I think your score is voided so u can retest. Down side with Florida, u will be stuck and can only work there.  your school doesn't have to be on a fraud list. They are investigating a bunch of schools from FL. There is also a federal investigation going on right now with Florida schools and that can take sometime

Yeah, they will most likely void the test. I'll be able to work in other states besides FL....just not NY (so far they seem to be the uptight ones). Its just unfair that they accepted my application...knowing where I went to school; took my money, knowing where I went to school. They allowed many of us to test and PASS KNOWING WHERE we went to school. The gag is, it still states on their website that they accept approved nursing schools.

After passing, I stopped studying, so now I'm having to get back into the groove before I go through the reapplication process with FL. 

This is just so devastating. 

It ticks me off to know that at the height of COVID they wanted anyone and everyone on board working... students halfway through programs and all. They had no legit anything...

@maria30 unfortunately, I've been calling them every Tuesday and Thursday since May 4th. They have no response outside of "We don't know" "Its under review/investigation"....

Fl if u can prove your resident, u can get a multi state. Ny is very shady. And is not right. To give some people license and not the rest. Completely wrong
