No I was able to sit for the NCLEX and I did receive a Florida license number. However NYS won't endorse my license. https://doh.wa.gov/licenses-permits-and-certificates/nursing-commission/practice-information
I found this article on Washington state government website saying "The Washington State Nursing Commission has determined that graduates of the following schools do not meet minimum requirements for licensure in the state of Washington:
Name Location Date of Decision
Siena College of Health Lauderhill, FL 1/14/22
Carleen Health Institute West Palm Beach, FL 1/14/22
Carleen Health Institute II West Palm Beach, FL 1/14/22
Carleen Health Institute of South Florida West Palm Beach, FL 1/14/22
Palm Beach School of Nursing West Palm Beach, FL 1/14/22
The Washington State Nursing Commission has determined that these schools are neither Commission approved nursing education programs nor equivalent to Commission approved nursing education in Washington. As a result, graduates of these institutions do not meet minimum qualification for licensure in the state of Washington at this time.
