Declatory process....

Do you mean submit a declaratory order?

In response to your post.. I graduated in August of 05 from LVN school . In March of 05 I filed a declatory with BNE of Texas. I have had to send more and more paperwork, and have been waiting for a spot on the Elegibility and Discipline Board meeting since August. The last "unofficial" word was that I should go before the Board in February of 06. This is a very lengthy process.. the Board is backlogged with cases and is very thourogh in the paperwork. My filing is for a depressive disorder. I had classmates that have had to go for psych and polygraphs. It is a VERY frustrating process , and the one advice I have for new or current students is file asap, and expect at least a 6-8 month wait.

I applied to the BNE last February and received by DE in May.. about 4 months. I only needed to clear up a misdemeanor offense that occured over 25 years ago though.

Have you asked your instuctors or program director about this? I would ask them to contact BNE enforcement and see if you even have to submit one. And you can file it even after you graduate , however it takes a while to get approval from the board so if you do have to file i would get it in asap..

Are you sure it's not on your FBI record?
You can find out by requesting your own record.
Instructions on how to do that are here:
http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/fprequest.htm

From that page:
"All arrest data included in an Identification Record is obtained from
fingerprint submissions, disposition reports and other reports submitted
by agencies having criminal justice responsibilities."

Stephera did you have to take a polygraph test?

Could you please be a little more specific about what you mean by "clear up?"
Because at first glance that sounds the BNE required legal action - or do you mean they just wanted further explanation?
