Enforcement Review TX BON

Nurses Criminal

Published

I am graduating nursing school in December. I submitted a declaratory form with all supporting documents of dismissal and paid to register for the NCLEX...then I received a letter a few days later from the TX BON. It stated that I had to pay $150 for my case to be reviewed by the enforcement department. I took the money order to the offices and handed it in myself. The woman there said it would take a minimum of four months to review the case. I am sick because I wanted to start my job and the place I want to work will start new grads off in Feb. If the four month time frame, (at the minimum), is true...I guess I will just have to wait. :crying2:

The charges were for Violating a Protective Order, compliments of a rocky marriage to say the least. They were misdemeanors and they were dismissed. I am just praying that the process maybe wont take so long. Has anyone ever experienced a more favorable time frame with the TX BON for enforcement review? :uhoh3:

Hey fellow long suffering people :uhoh3:...just thought I would check in. Everyday it can be a struggle to not just obsess over this! I feel like calling all the time but I know it won't help! Just trying to be accepting that I can do nothing about this wait time...I really hope that I can even remember enough material to pass the NCLEX! I have kept you both in my prayers, as I feel that we all need as many as possible. Hope ya'll are doing well.

You are absolutely correct about hard not to obsess over it but it is gut wrenching and you can not do anything about it..I am pass my window but I am remaining optomissitic..I have not received a yes or no as of this moment..so I believe that the wait is for the greater good..I know who my investigator is as I was trasnferred to voicemail but I am not sure of they really return calls..hope all is well :)

I feel your pain! I just want to know my fate. Will I be cleared? Will I have stipulations? The good news is we should be pretty close to finding something out. I called them again yesterday, and I was told to call around May 3rd, since that is my 6 months. At that point they will be able to give me some kind of news (hopefully). I have been trying to keep up with NCLEX questions and study guides. All of the information from nursing school is hard to retain when you aren't using it. Prayers are greatly appreciated, and I will keep you in mine as well =]

I called yesterday, and was told to call back next week and they should know something. I think I'm gonna try calling Friday though... This week is excruciating! Soon enough though, we will know something.

Any word with you??

Unfortunately not, I also called and the lady didn't even tell me anything just that it was still pending...I work at the hospital right now, everyday I have to work with nurses that were in my graduating class ( I work as a clinical assistant) It kind of rubs salt in the wound, every day is extremely EXCRUCIATING! But I am trying to be grateful and know that I haven't been brought all this way for nothing. I also think I might call on Friday...

I heard the same thing over and over again. I called and they appeared to be bothered by it at times but it is the unknown that's truly painful. They know when you call because they make notes. I just called anyway :)
