I also live in Ga. and I am also waiting for the GBON. In 2004, I was charged with" theft by receiving " for a car I bought. I was give 3yrs of probation and my record was sealed, under the provisions of the "Act for probation of first Offenders". I have already take and passed boards. My my case went before the board in May 2010. I was told that I a letter would be mailed to me 8-15 days after they reviewed my case. I waited the 15 and had still not received anything in the mail. So, I called today to see what was going on. I was told that my case was now in the legal dept. and they were in the process of creating a "consent agreement". This document will be mailed to me via certified mail and I would be required to agree, sign and return it in order to receive my nursing licence. I am not exactly sure what they want me to consent to? and in signing this what kind of stigma; If any would be attached to my licence? and for how long? I could see if I had a history of drug abuse, DUI conviction, fraud or even a violent past. I have already been offered a job as an R.N. and scheduled to start orientation. I was told that It could take up to another 3 weeks before I would be given my licence. I looked into all of this before I was even applied to nursing school and was told that I should not have any problems. For the most part it was true. I had no problem with the background check to get into nursing school, no problem with clinical placement and minimal problems with getting my ATT. Hell, didn't have a problem getting a job in a local hospital while I was in school. The same hospital that offered me the R.N. position. All my problem started once passed boards. What am I going to do? I will post an update as to what the terms of my agreement are once it arrives. Thank You for reading.

sorry took so long to reply. I took nclex rn and i live in ga. here we have quick results. you can get your "unoffical" pass/fail results from personview with in 48 hrs of taking nclex for $8. did u hear anything yet?

passed boards. pvt worked of me

Breath...I know how u feel, failed my first time, re-took yesterday. waiting for time to pass, just like you. You are not alone. I an sure you passed!

I graduated this past December. Took board on first of Feb, and did not pass . I live in GA, and here you have to wait 91 days before you can retake the NCLEX. Yesterday at 10:30 est, I took the NCLEX RN for the second time. The first time I got all 265 questions on every topic you can think of. I even had contact precaution question about the plague! We didn't even cover that in nursing school and it sure as heck was not in any of my NCLEX review books. This time the computer cut off at 222:confused: On the ride home I racked my brain, trying to remember the name of the drug I never heard of in question 222. I had to know if i got it right, and that what put me over to pass or wrong and that what determined I failed. I waited 5 hours before I tried the "trick". To my relief I got the "good" message. Tried a million times since the and sill getting same message. Well 24 hrs. down 24 hrs left to go, before I am allowed to view my unofficial pass/fail results. Cross your fingers for me. Please
