Passed NCLEX/PN, delay in license due to past conviction

by MayBoo

Please help!

I just received my NCLEX/PN results. I passed!

However there is a delay in my license due to a past conviction of a misdemeanor charge (petty thief) from seven years ago that the BON needs to look in to. I reported the conviction when I applied, I gave them all the paper work, I sent them a letter explaining the conviction in detail, and also the conviction was expunged.

I am a wreck. I am so scared. Has this happened to anyone else.

I know most people will say, you have to wait and hear from the BON. I called them, they said I have to wait one to one and half more weeks to hear from them. I have already waited over a month due to the fact that I live in California and it take that long to get results.

I would just like to know if any one else had a misdemeanor charge and passed their boards, recieved this notice and still will able to obtain their license.

I am so scared. Please help.

Thank you so much.

I have heard of someone getting delayed due to a conviction, but ultimately received his RN license. So good luck. You should have heard something from them by now though, so keep us posted.
