Passed NCLEX/PN, delay in license due to past conviction

[MayBoo]

Please help!

I just received my NCLEX/PN results. I passed!

However there is a delay in my license due to a past conviction of a misdemeanor charge (petty thief) from seven years ago that the BON needs to look in to. I reported the conviction when I applied, I gave them all the paper work, I sent them a letter explaining the conviction in detail, and also the conviction was expunged.

I am a wreck. I am so scared. Has this happened to anyone else.

I know most people will say, you have to wait and hear from the BON. I called them, they said I have to wait one to one and half more weeks to hear from them. I have already waited over a month due to the fact that I live in California and it take that long to get results.

I would just like to know if any one else had a misdemeanor charge and passed their boards, recieved this notice and still will able to obtain their license.

I am so scared. Please help.

Thank you so much.

i also passed my nclex pn dec.6 2009 but the bon put my license on hold bec. they said that i did not disclosed my dui first offense conviction back in 1998 in the blue convition record form. i remember that the question goes like this. have you ever convicted of any traffic violation or offense? and i answered it no in the square box.bec this is 12 years ago it should be exponged out of my record.then the bon said i need to send them all the court document and the police document and the completion of the dui school program back in 1998 conviction.so after i week i got it all set and sent it to them. and after 2 months i got a letter from the bon and i tought its my license but instead they denied my application for licensure. they said that i need make a request letter for administrative hearing and i did and thats what im waiting for now its been a month know waiting for the administrative hearing and im really scared.bon said that the administrative judge the will decide if i will get my license.so if theres anyone here been to this type of situation.pls tell me how long do i need to wait for the hearing? because the bon dont have any idea.

Did you hear anything yet?
