Contacting the Board of Nursing in Texas

Hello! How will I know if my paper application for RN examination in Texas has been received by the Board of Nursing? I mailed in my application last January 10 2014 together with a money order for the application fee. I have not yet received a confirmation mail from them. I tried calling but their line is ALWAYS busy. I also tried emailing them at [email'][email protected][/email] but it's been more than a week and still no answer:( I cannot register my fingerprint card as well because it says I have no record at the BON. I have no idea what to do next... Thanks for your help!

Just be patient on calling because that's what i did.

Hello :)

I know there is a place on their website to check the status of your application under the "verification and licensing" link at the top of the main page.

It does take them a little while to update it. I submitted my stuff in late November and they didn't get to my application until mid December. It takes about fifteen business days.

And I have also tried the webmaster email address and someone will eventually respond but by the time someone emailed me back I already had the answer to my question so it's not really the way to go.

I did find that the main phone line is always busy. Try the customer service number, you'll be on hold 15 - 20 mins but i've always had someone answer and they have always been super nice :)

Hope that helps!

You can check the status of your application at: https://www.bon.texas.gov/olv/applstatus.html

I sent mine in late December and it took 15 business days (not counting weekends, holidays, & date they put it on) to add the application on there. I called the customer service number and the lady I spoke to let me know they received it. Hope this helps!

They open at 8am. Start calling at 755am you v will get some one on the phone

The "no records" means that they haven't put it in quite yet. I checked it everyday after 5:00 (ATX time). Once it finally is "located", they will notify the fingerprinting agency that night. You should be able to register the next morning.

Good luck!!
