STUDENT DISCLOSURE ON PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE

Felbry College School of Nursing (FCSON) offers programs which lead to professional licensure. Any student  enrolling into a program  at FCSON must be aware of the required credentialing or licensing requirements necessary for employment in the field.

  • Students enrolling into the Practical Nursing program are informed of the required credential, LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) for working as an LPN in the field.
  • Students enrolling into the Associate of Applied Science in Nursing Program (including One +One) are informed of the required credential, RN (Registered Nurse) for working as an RN in the field.
  • Even though the program is post licensure, students enrolling into the RN to BSN Completion program are informed of the required credential, RN (Registered Nurse) for continuing to work as an RN in the field.

FCSON’s program curricula meet state educational requirements for professional licensure in the state of Ohio. FCSON makes every effort to ensure information about educational requirements for licensure or certification is current. However, state requirements may change.

Students who satisfactory complete an FCSON program will be presented to the Ohio Board of Nursing as meeting program completion requirements necessary for taking the NCLEX examination to become licensed as an RN or LPN in the state of Ohio.

On February 23, 2023, a student general assembly meeting was held with students that the college was informed by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Educations Schools (“ABHES”) that it (ABHES) acted to withdraw program approval for the Direct Entry Associate of Applied Science in Nursing program (AASN) because ABHES determined that the Direct entry AASN program did not meet the required minimum standard of 70% for placement (employment). We explained that placement is defined as verifiable employment in the field of study (ie: RN or LPN). We informed the students that the college was in the process of actively appealing this decision.

On June 30, 2023, the college received a decision from ABHES informing the college that their decision was final, that FCSON must acknowledge the teach-out agreement and maintain it, and is now directed to teach out all students in the AAS (direct track only) as required by ABHES.

While the current accreditation status for this program will remain in effect during the teach-out period for all currently enrolled AAS direct track-only students, the college remains accredited for this program through the end of the teach-out period, August 16, 2024.

We remain committed to providing the best education possible to our students in hopes of them achieving their goals.

Should you have any questions, please contact the Compliance Department at compliance@felbrycollege.edu.
