  1. Finding a Job with a Probationary Status License

    Tiger747 posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hi Everyone: I desperately need some help. I received my license in September of 2010, and have applied everywhere I can think of. I have only had 3 interviews out of 150+ applications. It is now been...

  2. New Indiana Expungement Law July 01, 2011

    Tiger747 posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hello All Well the state of Indiana has finally passed a new law that will allow those with misdemeanors and Class D felonies to seal their backgrounds for anything older than 8 years. Evidently,...

  3. Question about Atty for BON hearing

    Tiger747 replied to asbrdawi's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You cannot possibly go before the B.O.N. without an attorney, and even then it may not help. The little lady who went before me had a solitary D.U.I. 5 years, I think, prior and, trust me, you do not...

  4. My thoughts on 'what should I tell the BON'?

    Tiger747 replied to Karl Farmer's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I was charged with a misdemeanor. The case was formally dismissed;however, it is still on my record. Fine print says, "Dismissed". Currently, the judge doesn't like the new law, House Bill 1211,...

  5. Domestic violence, a cautionary tale:

    Tiger747 replied to Karl Farmer's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    In Anderson, IN., any altercation = both parties arrested. It is considered "mutual combativeness". I am not entirely sure what an innocent victim is to do; however, I would think twice about...

  6. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

    Tiger747 replied to octaviaM's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Yes, Samirish, it was of a violent nature; but, it was a "simple battery". It was so preposterous the judge laughed and evidently dismissed it. I never pursued it until I realized the thing is on my...

  7. success although bittersweet

    Tiger747 replied to jaznia15's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You are a very kind person, Pixie. You are very encouraging. I believe you about Indiana. Evidently, they recognize it, as House Bill 1211 passed 45 to 5 in favor. So, I guess they are trying to...

  8. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

    Tiger747 replied to octaviaM's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Extremely well put, Karl. "A festering wound." That does sum it up. What makes it so bad is that friends and family will always speak to you in platitudes like "don't give up", when, in fact,...

  9. Another criminal background question :) Violent Felony

    Tiger747 replied to aerogirl7210's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Will not be able to work anywhere that accepts Medicaid/Medicare.

  10. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

    Tiger747 replied to octaviaM's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Calmom, what you say is very true. What many do not understand is that it is actually a blessing in disguise to be denied a license as opposed to being granted a probationary license. A...

  11. My thoughts on 'what should I tell the BON'?

    Tiger747 replied to Karl Farmer's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The changes that have happened in this country just since the early new millenium would boggle the mind. Used to be no one even asked about misdemeanors; today, they are as awful as a felony. If...

  12. success although bittersweet

    Tiger747 replied to jaznia15's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hi Pixie, Well, the judge refused to seal my record simply because he doesn't like the statute. So now even my civil liberties are being violated (the law says "the judge shall"). Of course, we are...

  13. How is this fair?

    Tiger747 replied to PhoenixTech's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I am pretty sure if the Almighty was going to answer a prayer, it would be that of the 70% of the American economy(working poor, working class, and middle class)-- the consumer-- who no longer has any...

  14. How is this fair?

    Tiger747 replied to PhoenixTech's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It is Planet Earth, 2011, the United States of America. 60 Million people are praying for a job-- any job-- with no hope in sight. Prayers are not being answered because Jesus said,"Render unto...

  15. success although bittersweet

    Tiger747 replied to jaznia15's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hello, Pixie, you wrote,"Oh dear, I just saw what state you are in, the most difficult state in the union. YOUR state wouldn't even recognise my nursing college. Can you apply to the surrounding...

  16. please help

    Tiger747 replied to Denis A's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The problem is the "felony" charge. If it is inside of 5 years, especially, you are looking at an uphill battle from pillar to post, my friend. Read all the threads on this forum regarding...

  17. Finding a Job with a Probationary Status License

    Tiger747 replied to Tiger747's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hi Cinbar, Your story leaves me speechless. You understand, then, that it is impossible to relate these tales to most people because 99% of the population would not believe it. LOL People just look at...

  18. How is this fair?

    Tiger747 replied to PhoenixTech's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hi Phoenix, I think you misunderstood my post a little. Bitter? Absolutely. Who wouldn't be? What I was trying to convey was that this forum is full of these tales, with relatively few success stories...

  19. How is this fair?

    Tiger747 replied to PhoenixTech's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Man, you've had some bad luck! I got through nursing school, boards, and all, but cannot buy a job. God may indeed be trying to tell you something. 11 months of unemployment makes me wish my...

  20. Licensure with a Criminal History

    Tiger747 replied to XEnfoldYouX's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Depends on the state. In Indiana, you would still get a probationary license, which would beg the question at an interview: "Why the probationary license?" Whereupon you'd have to devulge the whole...

  21. success although bittersweet

    Tiger747 replied to jaznia15's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hello, I am still unemployed 11 months later after getting my license. I am hoping to get my record sealed via House Bill 1211, the new Indiana law that allows misdemeanors to be sealed after 8...

  22. Misdemeanors and LPN

    Tiger747 replied to sheenacrawford's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I hope this helps: I had a misdemeanor battery in 2001; became an LPN with a 6 month probationary license. After 400+ applications and only 6 interviews, a D.O.N. finally told me that with any kind of...

  23. Passed NCLEX - IL Prof Reg Red Flagged Me

    Tiger747 replied to chutley76's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Same thing happened to me. I got a 6 month probationary license you can't do anything

  24. Finding a Job with a Probationary Status License

    Tiger747 replied to Tiger747's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Life just isn't meant to be this tough. If they gave me a job as a nurse I do not even know if I would want it. You can only beg so

  25. Will I ever become a nurse ??

    Tiger747 replied to Happynow2011's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hi ParkerBeanCurd, Okay.....here is the problem: The very fact you have a probationary license is a giant red flag to potential employers. Believe it or not, I was actually hired at a famous...
