I received mine with more than one. Don't worry I did get a certificate of relief. I also know nurses who had a felony and received their license.

People do get a second chance but a license does not mean you'll get a job it just makes it harder

No long at all I'm in New York finished nursing school. Had nclex 3 weeks after school found out I passed 48hrs later and it took the board a total of 7 business days posted right online. You'll be fine and good luck to you!!!

It's just going in front of a board here look at this http://www.reentry.net/ny/library/attachment.84561

Not sure if it's your Lpn or rn but it doesn't matter.

This person had many many misdemeanors overs years and was still given a license. Also you can submit letters of good moral recommendation but have them notierized

Thank you... I've gotten feedback from different sources and have been told I shouldn't worry too much ... People have committed more serious crimes and even more recent and still have been licensed... I was just wondering if anyone went through the process and how long this further investigation process will take

Well my understanding is once it's up for review worst case is 6 months

Oh wow.... Definitely very disappointing considering before I entered the program I called NYS BON for feedback regarding my situation... Thank you for your response
