I-Team: Nursing students lose licensing in Massachusetts
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – A nursing school in Connecticut closed two years ago leaving graduates unable to work in Massachusetts.
Nursing students who attended Stone Academy were informed by the Board of Nursing that they could not work in Massachusetts because their nursing licenses were deemed ineligible after the school closed its three locations in East Hartford, Waterbury, and West Haven abruptly in February of 2023.
