Fist off I am getting my licence. Sorry you went tru so much, but not everone takes the same path in life. Some take the hard road and other take the easy way. Just becouse you took the long way dosn't mean other have to. Not all states have fingerprint submission. Only some do. and not mine. 1 I already have done nursing work and am not going to spend time and money on stuff I already know. 2 Your personal way is not always the "right way". 8 years in prison leaves a lot of time to study. Believe me I have read all the NCLEX guide book cover to cover and taken all the practice tests over and over. I am starting to sense some jealousy in the room. I know for a lot of you it seems like I am trying to cheat that is not the case. I spent a lot of years in study and practice as a nurse. More then your average nursing graduate. I am ready to take the NCLEX and I am more then ready to work the floor. Just because I did not jump tru the hoops you did doesn't mean I didn't jump tru hoops or put in the work.

Mavrick I did much more then "little tasks". I also did much more then school classes and field trips.. I would run parts of the hospital ward. I would tell the CNAs what to do and organize the entire show while the nurses from the outside slept, watched tv and did manicures. I was also the main nurse in my block. When people got sick they came to me. School do not hold a light to my real experience. In the day people learned trades by experience. Now society is weak and corrupt kids sit in school and pay money for careers. Olde school right here. You want to talk about trust ? In prison you do not just go to the hospital. You have to ask some fat inbred guard to talk to a nurse and see is you might be able to get some help. Many time people do not make past the fat inbred pig to help. That's when I helped and I also acted as a trusted liaison. People trust me in bad situations. Do you know why I did 8 years ? Because I don't rat on people. When things get tough most people cannot be trusted. The ones that can are what trust is about. kbrn2002 There is ALWAYS a way. When you say there is not you limit yourself and others that might listen to you. OK guys I have a serous question ..? I have a copy deplomia from a school it has my name on it. Will BON or NCLEX call to confirm I went to that school ?

Thanks you :-) I will have to look into this. I live in a self disclosure state they know what you want to tell them It is not "lying". Do you tell DMV that you have over the speed limit ? I would say NO. Something different license.

What is AN ?

Hi KCMnurse, Please read my original post. I did a lot more then watch nursing TV shows. I was basically a nurse for years=Real experience, not just school. I am much more educated and prepared then your average just got out of school nurse. I do know I have a lot more to learn and am am very excited about the next step of my nursing career. ^*^BON dosn't check "everything". They do not even check criminal records in the state I live in. I doubt they check school record ether but I am trying to make sure before I apply.

Hi everyone, I am getting ready to apply for my RN license after lots of work and study. I did not go to traditional school and do not have a diploma. So I am wondering if BON will check and see if I went to the school I put on my application ? I know most of you are thinking I have no business as a nurse without schooling. **Wait.* *Let me explain my experience a little. I had a unfortunate teenage life that got me 8-years in prison, in prison I spent a lot of time in the hospital ward where I feel in love with nursing. I became a helper and learned everything I could learn about nursing. I spent ALL of my time ether being a nurse, reading books about nursing, watching TV about nursing, talking to other nurses about nursing... I love everything about nursing.. Now I am free and I am ready to be a nurse on the outside. I have studied the application I will leave out my criminal past but I am not sure if BON will check if I went to nursing school or not. Any information I can get on this will be very helpful. Thank you
