Passed my nclex.. need help with license question and a misdameanor charge 10 years

[Nrse4lyfe]

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows how long it is taking the BVNPT to review the criminal history of people who passed there nclex and need there license. I was a little confused because before my nclex application was sent the school asked me to fill out the form that you list any tickets over 300 and any criminal history. 10 years ago i had a petty theft charge and I complied with my probation and it is not longer on my record. I DID put it on my form to the BVNPT and attached a letter stating what happen and paperwork from the court that the case was dismissed after I complied. Now everyone says that was to qualify to test not for your license do I have to do all this again or does the board have a file for me with everything in it already. I'm so confused about this.. Can someone help. I hope this doesnt take 6 months for the bvnpt to review because I have a job waiting to hire me right now and I'll miss this big opportunity if i have to wait that long. Please please someone help me please....

If you do some reading around the site, you will find many posts that indicate that one can expect long delays in dealing with the CA Boards. Even without the added handling time of a special case, the wheels of administration do not work fast in CA. You may very well lose this job opportunity to someone who is already licensed.

I can't really help.. The best I can tell ya to do is call your BON or the BVNPT.. I am not sure what bvnpt means but Im sure you can get better answers from them. Hope you get this cleared up soon :)
