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?

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

@ Starr22, So will NYS BON give license to students if their schools get National Accredited now? Because you said NYS BON looks at the present day not the past.

That's ultimately would be the ideal plan for those Florida schools that are just on hold due to the lack of accreditation

NY BON believe will not give the OK due to the big scam and ongoing investigations with other florida schools, It's best to work in the state you are at or go back to school. Your losing time waiting on NY. Unfortunately that means starting from the beginning.

Do you really think a school that's underperforming will get accredited,  I doubt that strongly it would take a couple of years till they can show a good baseline of passing students on first try for at least two to three years before they can apply. Let's not lie to yourself but be realistic.

It is 'Program' accreditation that is needed to continue to be approved after the probation period. That costs $$$ and time, has rigorous standards of curriculum and faculty, and does a deep dive on the financial structure of the school, somethings a for-profit school does not want out there.

Yes guys if you are waiting for NYBON and your school is not accredited, you will not be issued a license. There are a bunch of schools added to federal lists that I am sure NYBON is aware of. They just didn't update their current lists as they are slow to do everything. You cannot even find the last board meeting on the website because they didn't upload it yet and that was in September. I know they have a lot of applications and other things to deal with but they should have already addressed the rest of the remaining applicants that have passed the boards and are awaiting NYBON's response. They should make an official announcement so people know what to do moving forward. Like you guys have previously posted before, if you want a NY RN license then go back to an accredited school. That is the only way. You can also go back to your state and to get your license there but you have to retest since NYBON is not releasing scores. There is nothing more you can do at this point. I think NYBON will stand on this going forward. The days of approved schools are over.

I don't think this is fair at all. There's people waiting to work. The board should investigate people who only went to Carleen, but whoever is a transfer from a different school and wasn't allowed to graduate because of the exit exam, but did all coursework at a different school like Jersey College, must be issue their license. How long people are going to wait? I think they should get together and sue the people responsible for this behind the NYS board of nursing. You know what I mean, sue the people not the institution of the board of nursing. It's ridiculous, they should have better judgment than this

Unfortunately it dosent work like that.  And NY board is looking why there are do many people going to Florida schools but live in NY. It's a very high number so it raised a red flag that's why there investigating all these schools now. Florida standards are not the same as NY  when u look at these private schools and they all have bad failing rates
