PLEASE HELP!!!

I am a recent RN graduate and while waiting for my code to test, my application was placed under review of the investigation branch. I have a charge that has been expunged from my record for paraphernalia (Marijuana bowl) it happen more than 5 years ago. I was also arrested for an unpaid parking ticket which I also took care of. Both of these I disclosed when I submitted my application. I also had an issue while I was in school where I took a drug test for a Clincal site (on a Friday) but did not sign the consent form, when I asked to resubmit another sample (that following Monday) they denied me to do so, so I left the site and I believe they turned me into the board as a failed drug test. My school was aware of the situation and helped me through it, but now I don't know what is going to happen? Can anyone give me any advice, will this keep me from getting my license?

More than five years ago might seem like a long time, but the BON has made applicants jump through hoops over less. I suspect you'll get licensed eventually, but it may be a longer road than you've anticipated.

Here is a section of the site that you might find of interest:

I expect to have to jump through some hoops and it doesn't state this process can take 3 months or longer, As long as this will not keep me from being able to test and get my license, I'll jump through whatever hoops they need me too!

What state are you applying for a license in?
