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?

Why do we need a lawyer? Something happen

I hope you get through! Sending my prayers.

Nothing happened besides what's going on. A lawyer can be beneficial in speeding up the process in getting an answer as to their decision per individual

Please keep us posted of your call tomorrow. It is very depressing !

I just spoke to them, the lady told me, the decision haven't changed. She wasn't sure so she ask to call me back which she did.  I really don't know what going on now. 

What do you mean the decision hasn't changed? They will deny licensure to approved schools that are not on the list or on probation? 

The lady told me at this moment, has long the school is not accredited they will not issue anyone that attended an approved nursing school a license.  The decision that was supposed to be made yesterday 9/27/2023 has not been made final. So the April and June emergency action is still in place.  At this moment I don't know what to think off.

Thats correct. I waited 5 months and now I have to retest with another state in order to be licensed.

Again NYS BON is currently only giving licenses to Florida schools that are nationally accredited.. therefore anything listed as approved is only good for the state that it is located in and probationary or closed is are on hold in NYS.

I get people's lively hoods are on the line but people have to realize we are talking over 50 schools that are in this situation with way to many students who are just trying to use NYS as a way of passing and getting a license to go elsewhere as well as anyone who actually wants to work in NYS. That is a lot of information and people to go through not to mention the schools that are actually under review by NYS BON

My school was in the same status when I received an ATTN, no solution for Florida school in probatory status, in my case I have been waiting for more than 6 months for an answer, as if no one care to help in NY BON. 

If your school wasn't on probation status when you went to school and recently got on probation they will allow you to tests same happened to another person on here a member on the FL board advised her

That is for Florida and what one state does is not what another state will do.. NYS BON looks at the present day status of what the school is when we are processing application not what the status was for the school when you went there 

That makes sense thought the person was referring to text re testing in FL.. 

NY BON should have not let us test if that was the case. The least NYBON CAN DO NOW at this time after their mistake is to RELEASE OUR PASS SCORE TO FL BON.
