Anyone have to file petition for declaratory order?


Hi. I plan to apply for the Houston Community College nursing program in 2010, however, I had a misdemeanor charge on my recording from when I was younger. It was a stupid mistake, but I filed a petition for a declaratory order because I want to make sure that I will be able to even sit for the NCLEX after I complete nursing school. Basically, I don't want to waste my time if I can't.

Has anyone else had to do this? If so, what was the outcome.

THANKS!

Hey Sockmonkey! I had to file a Declaratory order with the Texas Board of Nursing because of a misdemeanor on my record. I have received a letter back stating that I will be eligible to sit for the boards once I am done with my nursing program.

Hi. Corlee. I can't seem to send you an email and it won't let me pm you. IDK why but I would like to know how long it took them to respond. I filed mine early September and did my fingerprinting the 25th of Sept. I know it says at least 3 months. Also, have you been accepted into a program. THANKS!!! & Congrats!

Hey Soc. I filed mine in early September as well and did my fingerprints on or around the 24th of September. I would imagine you will be hearing from them any day now, but IDK if different misdemeanors take them longer or not.

I filed a declaratory order in Aug. After my fingerprints I received a letter stating that my background check was positive and that my file was forwarded to the enforcement division. It said it would take 3-6 months and I still haven't received a response. I am getting very anxious even though I am just at the 3 month mark.
