1. IL License Status pending....

   illinoisbound replied to miszbeth's topic in Illinois

   As far as I know, single-issues (I.e. like one misdemeanor) are likely reviewed by a single person. Pretty much as soon as they received my certified docs, my license was issued.

2. Step by step...what was your process of applying for NCLEX with a DUI on your record?

   illinoisbound replied to DevinTheGirl's topic in Criminal

   First of all--super similar circumstances and I'm licensed without restriction in Illinois. Each board will be different, of course. I recommend if you have it in your resources to at least speak with a few nursing attorneys. There was one I spoke wi...

3. LVN to RN

   illinoisbound replied to siouxsieyq's topic in Criminal

   I would imagine that it should be the same. Maybe resend any previous correspondence from your LPN application.

4. CTS Delay!

   illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois

   For anyone submitting to the BON, you have to assume they will see everything. Unfortunately, people do not realize this sometimes. I have seen other people go through similar issues. For all intents, I thought they already had my paperwork from CTS ...

5. IL License Status pending....

   illinoisbound replied to miszbeth's topic in Illinois

   Cruz--yes I received my license. I actually called IDFPR and found out they needed my court documents and letter of explanation I sent to CTS. You have to send to both CTS and IDFPR. If you don't know what is on your record or you have a clean record...

6. Illinois RN - Interview/job Criminal Disclosure (DUI reduced to Reckless)

   illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Criminal

   Oh no. Illinois issued my license free and clear. I was asking about a job. Maybe this is in the wrong place.

7. Illinois RN - Interview/job Criminal Disclosure (DUI reduced to Reckless)

   illinoisbound posted a topic in Criminal

   Hey everyone. I don't know if this has already been answered ad nauseum, but I was hoping someone could shed some light. I am a licensed RN in Illinois (new). I disclosed everything to BON about my incident of DUI reduced to reckless driving while in...

8. Just got a DUI and about to graduate in May...

   illinoisbound replied to Donald208's topic in Criminal

   Hey Donald, take a deep breath. Without giving legal advice, I can tell you that I spoke with a lawyer regarding my DUI/RD and she gave me a lot of verbiage to put in my letter of explanation. There are sites online that will do the same. I had to se...

9. CTS Delay!

   illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois

   I did receive my license, after sending my letter of explanation and documents directly to Springfield (you have to do this in addition to sending it to CTS). The same day they received my letter, my license was posted.

10. Nursing student with recent DUI. Need advice

    illinoisbound replied to BCE2802's topic in Recovery

    Just an update. After sending my official letter of explanation to Springfield (you have to send to both CTS and IDFPR) and all supporting documents, I received my license today! No restrictions. SO HAPPY!

11. Illinois "Pass" Letter HELP!

    illinoisbound replied to abf.95's topic in Illinois

    How long did it take you for your license to post after you sent your letter? I'm still waiting on mine.

12. CTS Delay!

    illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois

    Congratulations AmiC! Do you know where you will be working yet? I am hoping to get mine soon. Unfortunately, I had a criminal conviction in my background (misdemeanor) that I disclosed at the time of my application for the ATT, and I'm just hoping t...

13. CTS Delay!

    illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois

    I would jump for joy if mine posted in 2 weeks! Are you recently licensed? I'm in FL so I don't have any friends with whom to compare notes.

14. CTS Delay!

    illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois

    Mine arrived today! I tested on 2/15, saw my pass on the website 2/16. The day that I e-mailed the rep and she told me the delay was 4-6 weeks, the letter was postmarked (2/26). I received the letter today, 3/2. For anyone else who is curious. I sent...

15. CTS Delay!

    illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois

    Thanks for your reply! I hope that it's closer to 2 weeks and not 4-6. I can only imagine licensing will take even longer. I guess they don't need nurses that badly.
