How is everyone.  So I went to Florida College of Health Science and did RN online course for less than a year..... by the time we finish school they closed the school and we were all able to register for NCLEX many people that took their NCLEX and passed are not issued their license when we call we were told that the school is under review. Please is there any ways around this... I have taken mine but failed and I don't know if I school waste money on applying again for att number or if there is hope that it will be resolved.  I need help please

This is a question for the Florida BON. There is NO way an online course , for less than a year... could prepare you to be a RN.

I hope you did not spend  a lot of money on this sham of a college. If you still want to be a nurse, look into community colleges.

Thanks... yes I spent 26000 on tuition fees alone..... so do you mean to say no need for me to waste my time waiting for the review to be closed.... even if I get att number and take the exam I won't be provided the license??

Do you have any recommendation for schools I can go in I already have 41 college credits from Bronx community College in New York

An online course cannot teach hands-on skills. And one year is far too short of a time to learn not only the scientific facts, but also how to coalesce that education into something useable. You would be lost on the hospital floor.

I'm sorry this school took your money. Still, the knowledge that you now have will help a lot as you go to a community college to get your RN. 

Be sure to check out the school's standing before you start.

Best to speak with a counselor at Bronx. They do have a nursing program. They will tell you if any of your credits are applicable.  They can also tell you the requirements for acceptance to the nursing  program.

I am sorry you and your fellow students fell for this in the first place. A classic case of if it sounds too good to be true it is. An RN degree in less than a year? All online with no clinical component?  No such program is ever likely to be accredited. 

Your best recourse at this point is to look into student loan forgiveness for attending a fraudulent school if you funded your education with loans/grants. If you spent your own money out of pocket your only option of recovering that money is a lawsuit that is likely to be expensive and take a long time to collect from assuming you win.

In the meantime if you are still wanting to pursue a nursing degree please do a little background checking and make sure the program you are applying for is not only accredited but has an acceptable NCLEX pass percentage. This information is readily available with a little research.
