  1. IL License Status pending....

    illinoisbound replied to miszbeth's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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

  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 Licensure: Criminal History

    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...

  3. LVN to RN

    illinoisbound replied to siouxsieyq's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

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

  4. CTS Delay!

    illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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,...

  5. CTS Delay!

    illinoisbound posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    So, I'd heard that Continental takes about 10 days after passing to send you your pass letter. I passed NCLEX-RN on 2/15, so I emailed the rep today to ask when to expect my pass letter. She said 4-6...

  6. IL License Status pending....

    illinoisbound replied to miszbeth's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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...

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

    illinoisbound posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    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...

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

    illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

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

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

    illinoisbound replied to Donald208's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    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...

  10. CTS Delay!

    illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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...

  11. Nursing student with recent DUI. Need advice

    illinoisbound replied to BCE2802's topic in Nurses 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...

  12. Illinois "Pass" Letter HELP!

    illinoisbound replied to abf.95's topic in Illinois Nursing

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

  13. CTS Delay!

    illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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...

  14. CTS Delay!

    illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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

  15. CTS Delay!

    illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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...

  16. CTS Delay!

    illinoisbound replied to illinoisbound's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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

  17. Illinois "Pass" Letter HELP!

    illinoisbound replied to abf.95's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Ok, thanks! I just hope it comes

  18. Illinois "Pass" Letter HELP!

    illinoisbound replied to abf.95's topic in Illinois Nursing

    How long did it take you to get your letter? I passed on the 15th of February and I'm still waiting, but I've heard 10 days, plus I live in

  19. Bad messed up

    illinoisbound replied to pcbeachbum's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The day I was arrested for my DUI was also the Best and Worst day of my life, too. Thank you for your perspective. I haven't read all the comments here yet but I did want to urge the OP to consider...

  20. IL License Status pending....

    illinoisbound replied to miszbeth's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I think licenses can take a while to post. I would say call IDFPR since they issue the actual licenses? Honestly I called them three times to request fingerprint cards (which never arrived) and each...

  21. IL License Status pending....

    illinoisbound replied to miszbeth's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I guess I would call Continental to see if you can get it straightened out. Could be an artifact of their computer system, since it looks like it may have been generated after your first nclex...

  22. IL License Status pending....

    illinoisbound replied to miszbeth's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Did you reapply to Continental for your second

  23. Nursing student with recent DUI. Need advice

    illinoisbound replied to BCE2802's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wouldn't wish the experience on anyone. I received a DUI charge (RD conviction) my first semester of nursing school (November 2016) It was a non-injury, pretty straight-forward incident. I was...

  24. Help!!! Illinois nursing applicant reviewed by the BON in Chicago

    illinoisbound replied to Kingskid87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Did you submit your documentation with the application or were you asked for the documents later on? That seems to be a common theme. I have not gone through any review process yes, submitted my...
