I hope that, when you say you didn't "disclose" your arrest on your licensure application, you mean that they asked the question differently (other than "have you ever been arrested") and answered whatever question they did ask truthfully. BONs tend to be a lot harder on people who are not fully honest/forthcoming on their applications and then turn out to have records when the background check is done than they are on people with records who were fully open and honest about their records to begin with. If they asked if you've ever been arrested and you answered "no," this will probably take a while.
Honesty is v. important in nursing.

I didn't disclose that I was arrested when I applied for my license. They asked for records and now they have forwarded my file to enforcement . What are the chance of them not granting me licensure ? I was not charged with anything . It was dismissed. I had to write a letter of explanation .
