Issue of 'Non-disclosure' with Texas BON

Published

I recently just finished nursing school and when it came to apply for my ATT. I had filled out a declaratory order before I started nursing school for a trespassing charge I had when I was 19 (I'm 25 now) and they approved me to sit for the NCLEX exam after I grad. So now fast forward and I'm applying for my ATT. I applied online completely forgetting about my declaratory order I had done 2 years before and my trespassing charge. I checked no for all the eligibility issues and submitted it. A few days pass and me and my old classmate are talking about declaratory orders and all and it hits me that I completely forgot about my declaratory order and trespassing charge. So in a panic I fill out a paper application (because my approval letter said specifically to apply with a paper application and not online) and I send in all supporting documents they need. I get a letter back saying that my case has been redirected to the enforcement department for non-disclosure because I checked no to all the eligibility questions when I previously checked yes. I am just freaking out rightnow thinking that my 2 years of nursing school have gone to waste and that they could deny me my right to test. I also don't have a job rightnow and I have no idea if I should get a job in the mean time while I wait this out, any information would be helpful, this is just the most horrible information I have gotten and I feel like an idiot for applying online without remembering about my declaratory order. I was just so excited to grad and test and get a job finally.

im in the same boat right now, I was sent in for eligibility review yesterday 09/5/2014. for non- disclosure, for not checking the right answers on the form. I was wondering if anybody went through same process and generally how long does it take. I know they say 90 days but has anybody gotten theirs sooner?
