Whenever there are government mandated licenses that one needs to receive in order to work there will always be a surplus of unemployed nurses or really any occupation that is licensed. Its the natural effect of such practices. Employers have direct decision making on hiring in their business, but ends where their sphere of influence ends. Meanwhile, a governmental license blankets the entire market and makes it extremely hard to find productive work if one does not have the "privilege". One may argue that these restrictions and regulations are necessary, but the natural by product is a shortage of workers compared to what would have been.

Thank you so my caroladybelle! These threads will be so helpful, and i am sure will lead to a positive outcome. There is nothing that means more to me that helping this girl fulfill her ambitions. I really thank you.

I really appreciate the helpful comments. Though it seems tough i will not be deterred. This girl has worked hard for this and now is being barred for mistakes she made when she was very young. I find it ironic that because she sought help for her addictions voluntarily she is now being denied the opportunity to help others.

Hello everyone. My girlfriend is having trouble trying to get her license in Texas due to the fact that she went to rehab three years ago. The stay in rehab was NOT court mandated. She had some problems but has been clean for over three years. Anyway, she applied for a license to practice in Texas over six months ago and has been getting the go around ever since. Is there anyway that this process can be expedited? This is a good woman who just wants to be a nurse. I thank anyone who can point me in the right direction, or just leave a helpful comment. THANKS!
