Wow! BORN spends only one day each month reviewing all BORN cases. Caseworker should be able to at least give a timeline. Wonder who came up with this humiliating process and how many nurses actually have not been approved.

Hi, When dealing with BORN? You should have been assigned an investigator/caseworker. I had my investigators' email and was able to communicate directly with them. Did you ever receive a letter?

What do they say when you call/email them? You should have a case manager?

Hi, Don't give up. Reach out to them until you hear from someone.. I spent months waiting and crying.. -also on EBT! I had to tell my professors and former co-workers that I was a DV victim and this whole process was traumatizing and embarassing for me.

I hired an atty and paid a fortune and it made no difference. There is a nursing shortage and BORN is an outdated mess.

I agree with Shauna. It is an embarrassing and humiliating process. I was traumatized and a DV victim. I had to re-live it many times .. writing the letter describing what happened in detail. It was emotionally devastating to dredge it up. Not to mention getting letters from former co-workers and professors and having to also explain I was a victim of DV to them. Meanwhile, abusers of all kinds are getting licensed daily. I graduated May of 21 and did not get ATT until Jan/22!!

Tinytoast, The BORN sees EVERYTHING from CPS. As a DV victim, it was excrutiatingly painful to have to re-live the worse moments of my life and defend myself as a victim over and over during this process. You also have to put everything in your own words. It took about 7 months in height of Covid (not sure how long it is now) for BORN to read my statement along with the letters of recommendation that I also had to humiliate myself by telling my painful past to professors and former co-workers to get. It is a horrific way to victim shame. Meanwhile, all kinds of unstable nurses walk right through to the ATT. It's a crappy system they have going on at the MA BORN.

Letter. Mail. I also had email of the investigator (I did have a lawyer - waste of my money).

Is that new? Because my case was over five years ago and I had to go before the board....

Hi, It took me forever to get approved just for ATT. It took 3 months just to be told I was under review and another 6 months to get ATT. Just send in all the info they request- they asked me to write everything that happened and to send in references. It's a ridiculous process of victim shaming!

It sounds like you are close. I doubt an atty would be of any use to you at this point.

Sean Capplis. https://ccclaw.org/ 617-227-0722 It was VERY expensive, and it did not make anything any faster. However, I am an RN. I was lucky that I had my case heard before they changed their system. Sean will talk to you and let you know what he can do. Hang in there!

I have an atty, correspondence goes through my atty.

Hi, A CPS case would need to be opened for them to flag you.

I went before BORN today. I waited over 4 hours in the zoom "waiting room." It took less than 2 minutes and they all voted aye. They asked me no questions, said good luck and that was it!
