Witness says she passed NCLEX and that New York probe into Medlife did not restrict her license
Loading...
Summary
Under questioning, a witness described years of nursing work in New York, said she passed the NCLEX on her first try, and testified that a 2023 New York investigation of the Medlife program did not result in restrictions on her RN license; she received a letter documenting that outcome for interstate licensing.
A witness who identified her clinical and employment history under questioning said she passed the NCLEX on her first attempt and that a 2023 New York investigation into the Medlife program did not lead to any restriction of her New York registered-nurse license.
The witness told the Questioner that she used Medlife transcripts to apply to take the NCLEX in New York and “had no reason to think [the degree] was invalid.” She said she passed the NCLEX on her first attempt and obtained a license first in Florida and later by endorsement in New York. “Everything about Medlife was legit,” the witness said when asked about the program.
The witness outlined more than a decade of clinical experience in long-term care, home health and behavioral-health settings. She described duties at White Glove Nursing Agency (home visits, G‑tube management, wound care and medication administration); work at Flushing Manor Nursing Home caring for post-hospital and rehabilitative patients; and roles at Waterview Nursing Home and Pioneer Home Care performing ADL assistance, medication administration and IV care. She said she later worked at Terrence Cardinal Cook Healthcare Center as an RN, where she supervised LPNs, oversaw infection-control protocols and eventually served as a nurse manager for about three years of a roughly five-year tenure.
Since May 2021 the witness said she has worked at Brookline Health in Brooklyn as a behavioral-health RN, treating patients in crisis, coordinating with physicians and providing medical oversight for co-occurring conditions including diabetes, HIV and wound care. She also said she works at Essex Healthcare and is a provider with ACN Health.
On the Medlife investigation, the witness said New York opened an inquiry in 2023 but did not impose any license restrictions or disciplinary sanctions. She said the investigation was closed and that she was offered a letter she could show licensing authorities to document the outcome if she applied to transfer her license to Connecticut. The witness denied that any performance issues had been raised against her in any state or setting.
The Questioner confirmed education records in the file, including a Bachelor of Science in Nursing the witness said she earned from Grand Canyon University. The witness described completing clinical hours and additional supervised clinical work while employed at Terrence Cardinal Cook, and testified that some clinical experiences were credited toward her BSN program.
No formal disciplinary action or restriction was reported during the questioning; the witness said the New York investigation concluded without license limitation and that she continues to practice as an RN in New York.
