Has anyone had to have a psychological evaluation/polygraph?

I want this more than anything in the world. I am just worried that I will pay all this money and they will say no. Then I will think, "I could have used that $1000 to buy stuff for my daughter." ya know? I'm a single mom, so money is very tight. My parents told me they will let me borrow the money, as I don't have $1000 just laying around. I hate to owe them money, because I am responsible now, but if it means I get to be a nurse, it will be worth it. I can pay them back with my tax refund, so I wouldn't owe them for long anyways. I just can't wait for this to be over and sit for my boards. At least now, after all I've been through, the NCLEX won't be so nerve-racking, lol! If I can make through the BNE interrogation, then I can make it through anything!

It's been 6 months since I sent my money for the declatory order, but they kept sending me letters saying they needed more paperwork. For supposedly doing FBI checks on everyone, they sure can't find out anything on their own. It was so horrible, I felt like I could have checked no and they wouldn't have known the difference. Their so-called FBI check is non-existent in my opinion, considering I did all of the work and they did nothing. The enforcement department isn't very helpful either. They would hang up on me, not return my messages, etc. And I went through the paperwork I was about to send and ask if that was all they needed. They said yes, but sure enough, a month later I would get another letter saying they needed something else. Then this whole evaluation and polygraph test came up and I had never heard of it before. I cried to my mother, I was so upset. I kept thinking it was all over, but then they gave me another obstacle to overcome. I told my mother that I honestly feel like the board has mentally and emotionally raped me. I can't describe it any other way. I'm just so sick of it all, but hopefully this is the last thing I will have to do, and I will get my license. I am going to complain to the governor and the board (after I get my license of course, lol!) about their almost-incompetent way of doing things. Anyways, I'm getting off my soapbox now.
