Dose BON check school records ?

Nurses Criminal

Published

Hi everyone, I am getting ready to apply for my RN license after lots of work and study.

I did not go to traditional school and do not have a diploma. So I am wondering if BON will check and see if I went to the school I put on my application ?

I know most of you are thinking I have no business as a nurse without schooling. **Wait.* *Let me explain my experience a little. I had a unfortunate teenage life that got me 8-years in prison, in prison I spent a lot of time in the hospital ward where I feel in love with nursing. I became a helper and learned everything I could learn about nursing.

I spent ALL of my time ether being a nurse, reading books about nursing, watching TV about nursing, talking to other nurses about nursing... I love everything about nursing..

Now I am free and I am ready to be a nurse on the outside. I have studied the application I will leave out my criminal past but I am not sure if BON will check if I went to nursing school or not.

Any information I can get on this will be very helpful.

Thank you

kbrn2002 There is ALWAYS a way. When you say there is not you limit yourself and others that might listen to you.

OK guys I have a serous question ..? I have a copy deplomia from a school it has my name on it. Will BON or NCLEX call to confirm I went to that school ?

I mean, the "way" is for you to go to nursing school and graduate.

You will not be allowed to write the NCLEX without information submitted directly by a school to the BON. They will know that you didn't graduate from there. I would suggest that it's fraud to forge a diploma. Why don't you just go to nursing school and get it done? It sounds like with all your experience you won't find it terribly challenging. Just tick the boxes and get your license the legal way.

All I can say is huh?

To take the boards you must meet certain requirements and lying to any future employer is not a good way to start a career.Best of luck to you.

You state you, "have a copy deplomia from a school it has my name on it."

You will need to contact the BON in your state to get the answer to your question, "if Bon will check and see if I went to the school I put on my application?".

We cannot help you.
