Probation Violation LVN, Outcome, Applying for RN

Published

Hi I am wondering if anyone violated probation for missing BFT? if your case was sent back to the Attorney general and what was the outcome?. I know it is possible they can revoke but I think I could be looking at an extension but not sure how long.. I am so terrified because its my LVN that is on probation and now I am about to graduate from RN school.The reason for my probation is DUI, one is 15 years ago and the other is 13 years ago. I am caught up in this LVN probation and think I should have not reinstated this license but I knew I would be pursuing my RN. I I am scared to even apply to take my RN boards. ANY ADVICE..Thanks

I think there's a forum for this -- and we can't give legal advice anyway. A good lawyer can advise you. Try TAANA.org, they'll help you out with these questions.

I'm not even sure what you're asking but I think that you really need to seek legal advice from an attorney. Be sure to hire one who has a great amount of experience in BON issues.

Did you obtain any legal advice about the LVN license issues before going back to school for your RN?

Hi Roser..No I did not speak to a lawyer before going back to get my RN. I did speak with the RN board and they told me that it is possible to get my RN but would look good if I get the LVN reinstated. I am asking if anyone violated probation and if so what is the penalty from the Attorney General extension of probation (how long), fine, revocation etc. I would also like to know if anyone has ever applied for RN while on LVN probation. I know it is a lot but my situation is a mess. Well thanks for the reply. I have also spoke with a Lawyer about this and she said more than likely my RN will be on probation.

I think it's good to remember that even if someone else here has had a similarexperience to tell you about, that still means nothing for your case. Everyone's circumstances are different; every BON is different. Best to go with your attorney's educated opinion.
