Im so nervous I go for my meeting with the BON tomorrow to get my license. I had to go through a moral character review and now this is the final step. The Investigator has been very nice and helpful to me. he called me today to wish me luck and to prepare me on some things to say. The one question that is stumping me is why do u deserve to get your license. I have an answer but I dont know if it is appropriate or not here it goes.
I feel that I deserve my license because I have worked hard and struggled to get where I am today. Although I made poor choices I chose to change my life and move in to a positive direction to make a better life for me and my brother. I also feel that everyone deserves a second chance and I know that if I am granted my license I would appreciate it more than anything else because this was not handed to me I didnt have the opportunity to just take my exam and be handed a license I had to prove and show that I was worthy of getting a second chance. I have dedicated and sacrificed so much for this and I just ask that you grant me the opportunity to make what I thought was a dream a reality.
This is truly how I feel an spoken from my heart. I dont know if this is good enough please give me some feedback on this :)
What state are you in? I had to go through a Moral Character review also and I live in NY. I never had to go meet the BON personally, and I just faxed them all the info they needed and dealt with the investigator over the telephone, which he was EXTREMELY nice!
I just graduated in May 05 and have been working since Sept. They would not even start the MC investigation until after I passed the Nclex-RN. I now work at a University teaching hospital.

I live in Buffalo NY. The Investigator told me he thought it would be a good Idea for me to show up but he said I didnt have to if I didnt want to. My Investigator is very nice as well he called me today to wish me good luck.
I live in Dutchess County NY and my investigator was from the Port Chester office in Westchester, NY. The investigator had to clear me and all was well with the BON. I had felony charges of Grand Larceny stemming from when my father died when I was 21 and he was ONLY 42, from a massive MI. Well my father had his own business and when he died I was executor of it ALL and had NO value for the dollar and spent 20,000 in 3 months. After I learned I could not handle my dad's sprinkler company, I signed everything over to the public administrator, on my own to be liquidated, he had me arrested because he told me to stop spending money and I could not, I was like who are you this is MY father's money. That WAS my attitude then at the age of 21, I am now 35 and definitely value the dollar. Apparently when you own a business you cannot just spend money without receipts to show for what you have spent for tax reasons, this I had NO clue of! I never went to jail served probation, was supposed to be for 5 years but was off of it in 2 years.
I now am an Oncology:nurse: nurse, which I love. I lost my mother last year during my last semester of nursing school from Inflammatory Breast Cancer at the age of 52, this March 30th will be a year since she has been gone and she inspired to go into Oncology Nursing. I HATE cancer and if I can't do anything about it I can help those and their families going through this awful disease! I work and a big todo University Hospital where we use experimental drugs and do BMT everyday, it is so exciting! Sad but I am proud to be a part of this team we have there.
