Hey! Not in the same exact boat with you, but pretty close. I received an out of state DUI 10 years ago, and recently applied for my boards after graduation. It is has been over a month without a response. I included court certified documents, reference letters, and a personal statement letter. Just a heads up, it is impossible to reach the BON. I literally call them at least 3x a week to try to get an update. I hope your experience is better than mine. I'm really stressed out and am in jeopardy of losing my job.

Hey All, This is my first time posting here at allnurses.com, however I have been a long term creeper and have scoured pretty much every thread I can find. I want to preface this post by stating, what has happened in my past is just that and does not define me as a person. While I am not saying I condone it, I was young and naive and have grown tenfold as a person. However, I am not able to get a lot of information on here or any other website regarding the PA BON (not sure if that is a good/bad thing) and was just wondering if anyone else has experience with this particular state. In 2009 I got a DUI in Virginia. I was 21 years old and invincible, and honestly think that learning from my mistake and being humble about my experience has made me a better person. Fast forward almost 10 years, I am now 30 and have graduated from with my ADN as of May 3rd. I am wondering if anyone in PA has had experience with the BON and past misdemeanors? When I asked the Director of Nursing at my school, she said they normally are more understanding if an incident occurred in the past and was isolated. I also sent in court certified documents, 3 letters of recommendation, and a statement letter. I'm just wondering if anyone has any horror/success stories with this state. TL;DR -- has anyone had a DUI here and applied in PA for your license/NCLEX? What happened? How long did it take them to process your TPP? Thanks!
