For those waiting for months to get results board of nursing actions, contact your state legislator as they are used to dealing with state boards and departments. Often they can contact BON to interceed getting license issue resolved.

I recently passed my NCLEX and now my application is under legal review. I don't have a criminal background so I'm unsure what this means. I was granted my CNA but waiting for my LPN license. I have been offered a job but can't proceed without a lic number. I'm freaking out. I'm in NJ btw. Help!!

Contact your NJ assemblymen for assistance in dealing with the NJ BON, that advice has helped several nurses get licenses after weeks/months of waiting.

Both my charges were dismissed (expunged), yes.

 

Good luck. The process sucks for people with scars from past mistakes. Sorry you have to deal with this!
