Yesterday i received a letter from the BVNPT after more than 2 months waiting about the Declaration of Nursing Education and or Licensing.The questions here are confusing. Can someone here who got the same letter if you can help me fill it up please?..:(

In my own experience,after I send my declaration,they sent my eligibility letter.Good luck:)

Hello all, spoke with my friend at the LVN Board. They are SWAMPED with applicants from the RN Board as you can imagine. They didn't get extra people to help them so it is taking 4 months.

Declaration is to be completed by the applicant and not the school. People are sending them to their school and it's getting returned.

The Record of Nursing Program form is not available through the RN Board so when you request your transcripts from the RN Board, that form will NOT come with it. This form asks for different classes then the RN Board asks for. If an evaluator tells you that your school did not list enough hours, that means your director didn't list all your nursing hours and it doesn't qualify you. The Board realizes that your nursing program probably contained more so they are trying to help you to get the form submitted correctly with the correct hours instead of just denying you.

My friend also said to please please realize the LVN Board and the RN Board are two completely separate Boards and require their own forms. She said she's been getting an application page and a letter that says all other documents will be sent from the RN Board. I'm just curious why one would not think they didn't need to complete the Record of Conviction, photo and high school? The livescan she can understand as most don't understand that Boards can't share.

Just so you all know if you are denied by the RN Board or haven't applied there yet:

Application with fee

2 photos

Record of Conviction

Record of Nursing Program form and transcript in the school sealed envelope (the transcript can come from the RN Board but the Record of Nursing Program form is unique to the LVN Board and the RN Board will not have it)

Livescan with the LVN code on it

Copy of your secondary diploma

Don't send regular mail and then call and ask them to go look through 1000 pieces of mail for your mail if you didn't send it certified. It's that same person who has to go looking through all that mail that you are complaining isn't getting your file done.

She also said they are working a lot of overtime and still severly backlogged.
