Thank you, I am sorry but can not give you my name. Good luck with your case study paper.

Good luck knightsofni.

I can not answer for nursing board in your state. All I can say is be honest, have paper work from all the case ready before graduating, have good recommendation letters and write a letter to BON about how and why it happened and what you have done to fix the problem so it does not happen. I was skeptical until I had license in my hand as well. Work hard and then live rest in God's hand. I wanted to tell my story so everyone out there trying to better there lives have hope and don't give up.

Both. They need both. If you have your paper work organized and ready easier it is for you.

I have been reading all these post for a while and I had promised myself that once my issues got resolved I will put a post for those out there who needs help. I had criminal background that happened 13 years ago and I just graduated from nursing school. I was trying to resolve it so I don't have to say yes for the criminal record on my application. Well, everyone knows how it is with lawyers and courts. I kept on getting dates far from my graduation date. I was looking forward to taking the test and getting my license and all of a sudden my life was on hold. I went on the department of health website read the information and braced myself for the worst. For those of you out there with criminal records have your paper work ready before you graduate. It is not end of the world. I got approval and took the test and passed and now I am registered nurse. I just wanted everyone to know it is possible. Be truthful and have your paperwork ready so you can apply right away.

I am a new graduate from Florida. Passed exit exam, I was on top of my class. I have new set of worries after finishing nursing program with flying colors. I have a record on my name almost 13 years ago and I have applied to the nursing board of Florida with all the supporting documents. I am awaiting their response and wait is unbearable. I want to ask if anyone had similar situation and how you resolved it. I have been to million websites and research everything possible. I need some reassurance from someone who was in similar situation and they had the issue resolved
