I have a weird problem. I graduate next month. I tried to get fingerprinted for the required FBI background check for my BON nursing license application, and I was told I was "unprintable." I went to the sheriff's department and several people tried with me for a loooong time. They tried different products on my fingers, milking technique, alcohol, everything. My prints are so worn, they cannot get prints on me. The sheriff's department gave me a letter to send in for the FBI background check saying I am unprintable due to worn fingerprints.
It's true. My fingerprints are so worn down, they are smooth. I have no idea why. Maybe from swimming everyday for about an hour? I don't know. I hadn't noticed until going to be printed.
So I called the FBI, and they said I'd have to submit two sets of bad prints with two letters from the fingerprinting agencies documenting that I am unprintable due to worn prints. Then, they'd initiate a "name search" of my identity in the entire United States for criminal background history, and I'd have an investigator check my background and what I've been doing for the last 10 years (this is fine). Problem is, the FBI says this takes about six months. This would delay my nursing license for 6 months!!! No job for me for six months! This is the procedure for "unprintable" people.
And the problem continues. I am at a hospital for my preceptorship that uses the opti-scan fingerprint for pyxis access. The pyxis machine scanner cannot get a print on me, either. So I cannot get into the pyxis.
I am very frustrated. I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem, and what they did. Also, is there a way of getting pyxis access without using your fingerprint in pyxis machines that use the fingerprint? Anyone know? I'm hoping there is a fingerprint bypass where you can use a password. The FBI tells me ~2000 people are unprintable.
