GMC Massachusetts review

Nurses Criminal

Published

Hello,

This is my first post. I just graduated nursing school in Massachusetts. I filled out my application and answered everything no. I then realized that they asked if you had any other licenses that had fines/disciplinary actions against you. I had a license by in a different area that was considered to be a business license. Not a professional license. that did have a few fines. I filed an appeal, finally the department asked if we could settle with no admission of violations and a one time payment. I didn't want to be dishonest in answering the question so I call the BON. The attorney was very nice. I sent her over everything I had on it. She said she will review it and let me know next week if I have to sit in front of the BON for a GMC evaluation to see if I can sit for my test. Can anyone give me any advice? Has anyone in MA gone in front of the BON for GMC?

Thank you in advance

First of all, I'm not trying to discourage you, scare you or be a jerk, but the BON is not your friend, so understand that. Get a free consult with an attorney, explain the situation and see what they say....if you are denied ask them to put in writing, every requirement that you'll need to.get to n n move forward. Don't give up and let your Atty deal with any comm needed with the Board.

Actually, I did not need an attorney. The board attorney looked over everything and decided that I did not need a GMC and was super easy to deal with. I passed my NCLEX and I am a working nurse!
