My wife passed her nclex about a week ago and she still hasn't received her license from the board of nursing in North Carolina.. She is being to get a little scared that she not going to get them, she had a marijuana charge back in the year 2000 and a larceny charge back in 2000 also she afraid that the Board of Nursing are going to hold that against her.. Her class mates took their nclex passed and received their license in about 48 hours, she not doing to good now... Can someone give me any info on this matter I would greatly appreciate it......... Thanks

    You mean she hasn't received her physical license or her name hasn't posted to the BoN website yet? How do you know she passed NCLEX? Has she received official results?

    Did she consider contacting the board of nursing for information? Did she disclose her charges/convictions to the BoN in her application?

    Yes she disclosed everything to them prior to receiving authorization to test.

    Moving to the Nursing Licensure with a Criminal History forum. Be advised that this is a moderated forum and all responses are reviewed before posted, so it may take a while for responses to appear.

    To answer your question, BONs review criminal applicants on a case-by-case basis. Because of it, it often takes longer for a decision to be made regarding whether the applicant should be licensed. All she can really do right now is wait for the outcome...and IMO, should the BON ask her to appear to explain her criminal history, to have an attorney with her for that meeting. Remember that the BON is NOT the nurse's friend. They care more about licensing safe practicioners than they do about cutting reformed nurses a break.

    Fair? Not always. But this is how it is.

    The fact that they issued her an ATT is encouraging. However it in no way guarantees that they will license her once she passes...and yes, that is the other possibility: she may not have passed the exam.

    Best of luck to her.

    Ok, so how does she know she passed NCLEX? Has she received her official results?

    Pearson Vue Testing gives results in 48 hours after testing for a fee....

    Your wife can come on the site and ask the questions herself since she knows what she has reported and has to the board.

    Now that she has taken the test, they are going to determine whether or not they want to license her. This process WILL most likely take months. Getting to sit for the NCLEX does not mean that they have decided to license her, some states have the applicant take the NCLEX first and then do an investigation. The amount of time that she waits will depend on how often her BON meets. Good luck.
