Hi, I finished nursing school and was denied to sit for nclex due to a recent misdemeanor conviction. I have a formal hearing with the BON coming up, and I am very confused as to what happens next. I'm reading so much about hearings & that it is...

Hi, Although I do not live in NH. I had to meet with the BON in my own state and I would say try to hire an attorney to represent you if possible. I say this because, the board is only out to protect the public and in no way are on our side. Besi...

You weren't convicted only arrested so that's a good thing & it happened close to ten years ago, so that is also in your favor. I would get the application in as soon as possible, since you're just weeks from graduation. Just be sure to check th...

Okay so I was denied!!! The board did suggest that I reapply after I pay all my fines & restitution & my probation ends (by the way, they are fully aware that once my fines are paid off my probation automatically ends). My attorney says that ...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone was ever denied licensure by the nursing board, being told that you can reapply after paying fines, completing probation etc. etc? I was just denied after a formal hearing with the board and basically told, that after I...

Thanks for your advice and prayer! I really do appreciate it! Yes, I was thinking that they could have just flat out denied me, without even encouraging me to reapply, if they weren't considering to give me a license.

Well I was never licensed. Got into trouble during nursing school. Initially applied, got denial letter last year, hired an attorney and appealed the decision...went to a formal hearing, but the board has now just now made the decision to deny my a...

Hi everyone, Just thought I would check back in to let you know what has been going on...NOTHING. My hearing with the BON was in August...& I was told that they just met last week, to decide on my case. I have been nothing but patient, but I fee...

Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if anyone could provide me with some advice on how to study for NCLEX PN? I graduated a year ago & I'm hoping to take NCLEX soon, but I have forgotten almost everything I learned in nursing school. I just ordered...

Hi everyone, My hearing is finally over!!! I've been so stressed for the last 6 months. I thank god that i wasn't flat out denied a license, but I was told that I could possibly sit for a probationary license. The board has to make the final decis...

SuesquatchRN, Thank you! I think I will start studying to pass NCLEX and go from there. I know my license will read "on probation" but I'm hoping once i start working & pay all the fines off. It will read "active" and I can go on with my life. ...

Hi, I live in PA, I was convicted of a misdemeanor fraud charge and my fines & restitution total 10K. I am making small monthly payments with the court system. I took everyone's advice & hired an attorney, although it wasn't cheap, I feel t...

Hi everyone, I finally have some good news!!! I think that i will be allowed to get a probationary license, that is what the hearing officer will reccommend to the board, I'm praying that they approve it & not object. My attorney will contact m...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to give you all an update: I finally want to my hearing & the hearing officer agreed to allow me to get a probationary license, until all my fines are paid then I can get the probation removed. They said, that it is not...

SilentfadesRPA, Thank you, I thought that the more letters that I am able to present to the board, the better? As I am unable to get anyone to come with me, all the way to the hearing. My attorney said that it was okay, but now I'm looking at it fro...

Hi cocolola, Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this, as well as your experience. So far I have been dealing with this issue alone and no one understands what I am going through right now. In four weeks, I will have my hearing to see if...

Just wondering whatever happened to your situation? Did you ever find employment with a probationary license?

Hi, Am I allowed to apply say for a NY nurses license, if i was denied in DE or PA? Just wondering? I was denied but now waiting on the hearing to take place, must you get a license in the state that you reside in first or does it matter?

rnjessie, Great news!!! How long did it take you to finally get your license? I have a hearing with the BON coming up after being denied, and I would just like to know what was the process that the board took you through. Al so, if denied by one sta...

okchug, Can you tell me what I hearing with the BON is like? I have a hearing coming up later this month and i'm very scared. Will they nursing attorney question me like in a regular court, will they present evidence against me etc etc?

Thanks everyone for your timely replies. I did hire an attorney and he told me to get as many character reference letters as possible and any proof of rehabilitation after the conviction, community service, volunteer work etc. etc. I have managed t...

Hi, I am new on here and I am also a graduate nurse trying to obtain my license. I was initially turned down due to a recent criminal conviction and I have a hearing with the SBON coming up. I just wanted to know if any nurses on here ever had to g...

Hi, thanks for your response...I do understand the severity of this, but in my case I'm not sure the attorney can do much I was charged with a misdemeanor which is under (a crime of moral turptitude) with the Board...all the attorney's that I spoke w...

Tiger747, I totally agree with you! Times are tough enough for everyone out here already, just because we made a bad decision we must be penalized forever? How long have you been licensed & looking for work? I'm confused because I hear many othe...

It's because it relates to battery, but it was so long ago...it seems like they went pretty easy on you, but I guess not if you can't even secure employment...did you apply to any agencies or addiction clinics? I will going through a similar situati...
