Hi! I hope I'm putting this in the right place, but I've been wondering if anyone else has dealt with this. I'm trying to apply for RN by exam, and I had to consent to the Adam Walsh background check. More than 10 years ago DCF got involved with my family because my (now) ex-husband assaulted my infant, apparently a couple times. It was completely unknown to me, as I was at work when it happened, but she appeared sick, so I was bringing her to her pediatrician and the ER several times; it was only after my ex said she fell off the bed, that the ER finally did a CT, and found subdural hematomas. Very obviously, DCF got involved, initially took custody (I got custody back at the 72 hour hearing, after my ex confessed and I filed for separation). Because it took so long for him to confess, DCF treated us both as perpetrators and supported the Care and Protection. He was ultimately charged and convicted of his crimes, and my child is doing really great these days with no residuals (thank god!!!).
Any way... apparently my name came up on the DCF registry as being part of a protective services case, and now my application for licensure by exam is under review. With Good Moral Character, there is a list of items that the Board wants, but there is absolutely no information for individuals who show up on the Registry but have no criminal history. Does anyone know how long the review will take, or what they might want for documentation? I'm trying to pace myself studying for the NCLEX, and wonder if they will even let me? (I assume I'm listed as "neglectful" for "failing to keep the child safe", which I already feel sooo much guilt for, even though I was at work when it happened.) As additional info, I do currently work with children, and my history has never been a problem...
And also after I withdraw my application. What is the next step? Im guessing they going to send me notification that my application is withdrawn and then I'll just go ahead and reapply for another state? Please let me know the process. Thank you!
Yes, you'll get an email saying you withdrew. You will have to call Pearsonvue and pay $50 to change the state. Then you follow the directions of whatever state you're applying in.
Wish the best for you as well!

So today is April 1st and still no word from the BON. I applied for my initial license back in May 2023 (never heard back). I was able to apply to another state and obtain my RN license. So I applied for reciprocity in December of 2023, still no date to meet with the BON. Defeated is under an understatement!

I am sorry to hear that. Are you currently working in another state
When dealing with BORN? You should have been assigned an investigator/caseworker. I had my investigators' email and was able to communicate directly with them. Did you ever receive a letter?

Yes, and every time I speak with her she just responds and says either the applications are processed in the order received or please allow some time to review. That's all I ever get!
Wow! BORN spends only one day each month reviewing all BORN cases. Caseworker should be able to at least give a timeline. Wonder who came up with this humiliating process and how many nurses actually have not been approved.

That's what I've been trying to figure out. Like give me some hope! LOL
