HI, I hope somebody can help me. I graduated nursing school this past December 2013, I applied to the Illinois BON, and I passed my NCLEX. I applied for my license and have had a job offer which my boss is holding for me, for how long I don't know. I just found out that my license is getting held up because something came back on my background check. I went to my county courthouse and found out that I have a couple of misdemeanors from 22 and 23 years ago for driving on a suspended license. I didn't tell the BON about these things because I really didn't know they were misdemeanors, I know it sounds stupid but then again 22 years ago I was stupid and I don't remember what they told me in court. I thought I just had traffic violations.. The BON told me to get court documents and a write them a letter of explaination.... What does any body think or know about how this may turn out for me.. I am totally scared that they wont give me my nursing license????? Help:(
