Im so tired of waiting..Please help!!!

Published

I have a disciplined license in Indiana for a fight that I got into as young adult, I am now 40 years-old. I went in front of the Indiana board of nursing in 2010 and they granted me a probationary license, due to the fact that it was over eighteen years old. I recently moved to Illinois and endorsed that license over . Again I appeared in front of Illinois board of nurses and they too granted me a probationary license: However, it's been three months and I have yet to recieve my nursing license number. I appeared to BON on May 11, 2012, today is July 30, 2012. Can anybody out there answer this simply question for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

How long does it take for Illinois to issue a diciplined nurse license?

Thanks In advance...

Signed, Tired

Unfortunately, you're at the mercy of your BON's timetable...and they can be notoriously slow when it comes to these things. Since it's been nearly three months, I would drop them a note/call to ask for an update and see if they need any further info.

Hope it is resolved soon.

I called the office in chicago today and spoke with a lady and she basicly hung up on me, just before she told me to contact my lawyer. My lawyer stated that my number should be up. This is a wild goose chase. I did not have this problem in Indiana. It's crazy. Thanks for the response Meriwhen, I appreciate it..

Due to higher # of nursing licensee's and issues to review, BON is slower to respond per our members laments.
