Board of Nursing (IL) Review..New Grad

Published

I failed to mention I had an arrest record on my license application. As I was filling out the application, to my ignorance I thought I only had to report convictions. I took boards July 21..passed and about a month later got a letter from boards saying I had not disclosed a juvenile arrest record and an arrest from when I was 19 so I was disbarred from practicing.

I sent in all proper paperwork in August(court records..ect). In early Sept. I was told I was being reviewed by a board member and now early Oct I'm told my case has been sent to a board manager. I'm so distaught. All through out nursing school background checks were given and I was never informed to make sure I disclose my arrest record to boards.

Any one else in this situation or was can shed some light?

How long is this process?

TIA

Hi, just wondering how long it took the board to review and did you get your license?
