Hi everyone, I am freaking out here, I took my nclex test in July 22/2013 after receiving my clearance from the board. I have a DUI which it was reduced to a wet reckless , and it has been three years , I also had my record expunged . However i did report everything to the board along with a copy of compilation of DUI classes, meeting, and i paid all my fees. I was happy that they let me take the nclex, I thought i don't need to submit anything, but today I received a request from them , that I need to submit the actual police report,court order and a letter from me saying exactly what happened. Now I am confused, why they let me take the test if they were going to ask for these stuff, how do i know if i pass? will they send me at less a letter saying that i pass , or i will not get any result till I submit all their requirement. I am so scared, I will go and get the documents , but I don't know what to do, sense I hear that in California it could take forever to get any thing done, help please

Was it the Lvn or Rn Nclex?

I will pray that God lift your heavy heart. The BON will release your results and allow you to practice. You have invested 2-4 years of your life in school to serve the community. That means a lot. You faced and defeated the NCLEX devil, you will over come this issue as well.

hello everyone

I am back after couple years. I got my LVN licensed and now I am in the bridge program (LVN to RN). It has been a long journey. It took me a long time to get to where I am right now. After all I had to support myself and work full time and make sure my bills are paid. Finally this is my year to get my RN degree. I hope when I send my paper work to board of nursing they don't ask me about my wet reckless driving incident 5 years ago. I really don't want to go through what I went before with the board of licensed vocational nursing. Any thoughts ? Please leave me your thoughts and comments.

lvn/ but now I am waiting to take my RN. this time around it went directly to enforcement unit before even letting me take the nclex, I hope that is it and they wont ask more . I have send everything base on what they asked me back in 2013 when I was taking my LVN nclex. Not sure what to think, all in know mine will take longer than others. which it sucks :(

If it was expunged isn't it as though it never happened?
