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?

It's like I feel so crushed and unheard, but at the same time just thankful that this is even an option. It's been a long road. I started studying a couple weeks ago. I don't plan to wait too long before retesting. Archer, NCLEX High Yield, and Nexus Nursing all over again. 

When I spoke to the representative today, she told me their meetings have nothing to do with our situation. Another told me they knew nothing about the PDF discussing the decision for 9/27. 

I just prayed and gave it to God. I hung up and proceeded to pay for my exam.

Nybon always play a blind I . They may do nothing at all who knows. It looks like they want people to forget about like it never happened only to keep others with active license that were involved in fraud.

Ny really holding others for that those did. Sad. Keep your head up guys I know its hard to work hard to only get the short end of the stick

Hey yall...

After 5 months of waiting, I just went ahead and asked FL for re-entry. I got my ATT today, and I'll be retesting soon. I'm so saddddd, but I can't lose sight of the end goal. It took me 7 years to pass, but at least now I know I can.

I pray something shakes soon because this isn't fair at all.

Its pretty sad , I wish u the best. Do u live in ny?

SO TRUE ABOUT NY! They will

drag this until people forget then the one that did not commit fraud will be the one paying for it. To be honest, if they wanted to do someone they would have. This been going on since last year but yet giving out ATT??? then stop people from getting their license and think they're doing something.  
SN the representatives who answers the phone they don't really know much besides a computer that's telling them application under review ect..

Did you mail in your application to FL  or online? I'm going to go up to my school to pick up my official transcript and mail everything together( unopened) so I can start the process without delaying 

If you already tested with FL then you want to fill out a "re-examination" application. If you not, then fill out the "examination" application. You have to print it out and send a $110 money order. Along with that you have to write a letter simply stating that you want to withdraw your endorsement (if you did that), and apply for re-entry for the state of florida. I had already paid for the endorsement application, so I asked them to transfer the $60 processing fee and just paid $50.

You'll get approved (just call them....they're busy right now with renewals). They will send you an approval letter. Pearson will send you an email stating that FL approved your re-entry. From there you'll have to call Pearson to pay for your exam. You CAN'T pay for it as you normally would online since its a re-entry. The pearson phone call felt sketchy, but trust it. LOL 

After you pay, they'll send your ATT. I got mine all in one day.

Yeah, I figured that about the reps. I feel sorry for them because I know they're stressed out. I know one thing, NY is gonna give me my money back. It's crazy how they only offer half of it after I request a withdraw of application.

Which schools did u go

Lincoln College of Technology. They're no longer in florida. They were accredited, but NY still has it under review because it's no longer on the current list ....(duh, they closed in 2017). I can't stand this for all of us.

Exactly its really sad how they are penalizing people for what others do. Also the nybon reps don't have info u have to talk to the processing unit but they still won't tell u anything. I believe they want students to stop calling and move on and leave the others alone

Same!! So just fill out the examination application, print, and mail it. I live 20 mins from FLBON and I had to camp out in their office to get my approval. My friend lives in south florida and she mailed it in and got approved before me LOL

I'm sorry to say NY has NO idea what they're doing. They just do things to act like as if they're doing something all this is a waste of our time. Nothing new with them.

Fl counts any previous state u test due there 3 limit testing and then remedial with accredited fl school on there list

If u tested ing fl that counts as 1 = 2 more trys

You had to camp out in their office?? only if they were open on The Weeknd I would have no problem flying there to drop it off. The only think I'll call the school tomorrow and ask to mail
