Long story short..almost 2 years ago shortly after i renewed my license i was arrested for assault and stayed one night in jail. Shortly after the charge was dismissed. I have not notified the board of the charge and am up for renewal by oct 31st. I have a good work history, never had anything wrong or reported against my license before and have never been in trouble with the law before that incident. I will be turning in my license renewal info ahead of the deadline and have consulted a lawyer, still awaiting to hear back from them. Will the board of nursing let me work during the meantime if they are still investigating past oct 31st? Or will i just have to wait to resume work until they pass judgment? I figure the process can take anywhere up to 6 months or so. If anybody has personal experience with renewing your license after having an arrest or anything i would love to hear from you and hear how the process was, specifically for tx. This site is an awesome resource, thank you guys!
