How long for NCLEX-PN results with criminal history?

I have not received my results yet...it will be 4 weeks on Monday. I called last week and they told me they should finish processing the results from 3/26 by the end of this week, however, THEN, they will be sent to the enforcement unit and then however long it takes from there. So, last week they said it would be about 2 more weeks. Did they tell you it would be a couple more days until they got to 3/27 or are your results already with the enforcement unit (and it will be a couple more days)? Do you know whether the results will still go to the enforcement unit first (before they mail them out) even if you fail? By the way...thanks for the reply..I had just about given up on this post.

tinamexdoll....I feel the same way you do. Why would the results need to go to enforcement if we failed. There should be nothing further to look into. It seems strange that they told you yours should've been sent out on the 13th, cuz when I called on the 12th, I talked to the lady that processes the results (results dept.) and she said they had just finished on the the test results for 3/20. So, they wouldn't have gotten to yours yet. Well, since you talked to them this week, hopefully that means my stuff is with the enforcement unit too. It sucks cuz I sent all of the paperwork they wanted regarding the incident a couple of months ago. So, you would think they would already have it "preapproved" or "predenied" and then all they would need to do is get your results and send it off. I mean really, how long do they need? You've already spelled everything out for them with the paperwork you provide them and if they are doing a "background check", well, that only takes a couple of minutes on a computer. I wouldn't worry about the length of time being an indicator of whether you passed or failed. I would think the wait time for us would be longer if we passed. (if the fail results didn't have to go through the enforcement unit). I got 85 questions, but, I felt like I may not have gotten hard enough questions to pass. Don't get me wrong...not saying it was easy. I have at least one person in my class who took her test and got all 205 and passed. Maybe I will call today. Keep me posted. If I find something out, I will let you know.

lizzyette....I know without a doubt she would have to disclose the information to the board of vocational nursing. She would have to provide court documents showing what the punishment was, police reports and proof of complying with the punishment that was set forth. She would also need to provide a personal letter to the board to describe the incident in her own words. So, there is a process..I can not say, however, whether they will approve or deny. It is a case by case basis. I would think they would take into consideration, any other criminal history, the details of the incident, how long it has been since the incident, proof of rehabilitation (what she's done since the incident). I would call the board before starting the lpn program just to see if they could offer more detailed information. I don't think that it is an immediate disqualifier.

Well, I just contacted the board and talked to the enforcement unit. They told me that have received my results, but they haven't been processed yet. They said they should be processed by Monday or Tuesday...so, now, I'm like...what does that mean?? They know it will only take a couple of days cuz I failed, so, easy paperwork? Or do they already have a go ahead on my package and will be able to process quickly?? AAAAhhhh...this is driving me crazy..I just have this terrible feeling I failed!
