  1. University of Southern Indiana (USI) PMHNP program

    Carl Winslow posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm very interested in this program. could past or current students comment on how competitive this program is? what was your cumulative gpa (not just bsn gpa), what was your BSN gpa, and how much...

    Carl Winslow replied to JENFKB's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm very interested in USI PMHNP program, how competitive is this school? what were your cumulative (not just bsn) gpas and experience for those that got accepted? also, do they just look at...

  3. NCLEX and licensing with 2 OLD DUI's

    Carl Winslow posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hello everyone. I have seen this type of question posted before and have heard a lot of hearsay. Unfortunately, from what I've seen, the original poster never returns with an answer. So, I'm going to...

  4. Got ATT and ready to sit for NCLEX...can they still deny me after I pass?

    Carl Winslow posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    A brief background story: 32 years old. Graduated with BSN last January. Had 2 prior DUIs from when I was 19 and 22 years old. Both misdemeanors both expunged. I have been battling the BRN for a good...

  5. NCLEX and licensing with 2 OLD DUI's

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    So judgement day finally arrived. Was allowed to sit for NCLEX, passed in 75 questions first try, and was granted an unrestricted license in California with 2 DUIs. Granted it took about a year and 2...

  6. NCLEX and licensing with 2 OLD DUI's

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Edit: Apparently it is still too soon to celebrate. Apparently they can still deny/give restrictions even AFTER you take the NCLEX. I thought this was the end of the road, but there could still be...

  7. NCLEX and licensing with 2 OLD DUI's

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    So, I have not posted here for quite some time. I have had my head buried in the sand since graduation (January 2017) and have been scared/stressed to death. But here's the update...I was given the ok...

  8. My Two Cents When Applying to California with a Criminal History

    Carl Winslow posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Like every single one of you looking at this thread, I have been stressed out, worried, and have had this lingering feeling of doom hanging over my head. Are my dreams destroyed? Did I waste all of my...

  9. Application denied by California BRN

    Carl Winslow replied to CaliCalinurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Please keep us updated with this! This sounds like wonderful news and it's about damn

  10. My Two Cents When Applying to California with a Criminal History

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Yeah you can go to school here, graduate here, then apply to which ever states you want when you take the NCLEX. It's the same test regardless of the state, you just pay a fee to apply to the states...

  11. My Two Cents When Applying to California with a Criminal History

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Congrats on your success story! How long did you have to wait to be able to test and hear back from the board? Did they deny you initially then had you send in your paper work and mitigating evidence?...

  12. NCLEX and licensing with 2 OLD DUI's

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think that is the worst part about this DUI horse crap. It is borderline unconstitutional; how you can CONTINUE to be punished for the rest of your life is beyond me. As you put it, we've already...

  13. NCLEX and licensing with 2 OLD DUI's

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thanks for the response, but I will never take a probationary license. I think if they are going to give you a restricted license, they might as well not give you one at all; they both pretty much...

  14. Application denied by California BRN

    Carl Winslow replied to CaliCalinurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thanks for the info. Yeah, from all the research I have done, it seems that anyone with priors would benefit from staying away from California altogether. I just see this as a silver lining and the...

  15. California licensing with a DUI

    Carl Winslow replied to javigarcia's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Yeah, unfortunately once your license has been denied or disciplined in ANY state, they put all of that in public records and you HAVE to disclose it on EVERY state licensing application. It sucks I...

  16. Getting a License in Another State

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Well, I really can't give you any legal advice, but in your situation, I would definitely get a lawyer. Have you contacted the Texas BON? They can't give you any definitive answer, because everything...

  17. Getting a License in Another State

    Carl Winslow posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hello, I'm going through the same nightmare as most of you. I have two OLD dui's from when I was 19 years old. I live in California. I plan on applying for my license in CA because my family and...

  18. Application denied by California BRN

    Carl Winslow replied to CaliCalinurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You're in California? I suppose every case is different, but from what I've read and heard, is that the second you check that little box admitting you were arrested or convicted of a crime, all sirens...

  20. Application denied by California BRN

    Carl Winslow replied to CaliCalinurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Don't worry. Every one that has been convicted of a crime is denied their license initially. You may have to wait a bit longer than your classmates, but as long as you give them all of the necessary...

  21. Getting a License in Another State

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    From what I've gathered from others and the Texas BON, Texas seems to be waaaaaaay less strict on granting unrestricted licenses. For instance they do not require you to disclose expunged records, and...

  22. California is Just Goofy?

    Carl Winslow posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I know I probably won't get the answer I'm looking for, seeing as it is very unlikely that someone who has had smooth sailing in regards to the BON would be trolling these criminal background threads,...

  23. California is Just Goofy?

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Well, congrats on getting your unrestricted license. That is really unfortunate about the new grad program though; I would be very upset, I hope it ends up working out for you. I plan on going the...

  24. NCLEX and licensing with 2 OLD DUI's

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thanks for your reply. Now that is the dilemma: risk it and apply in CA or basically start my career in a state that is less strict? I have to believe that as long as I do what I am supposed to do,...

  25. NCLEX and licensing with 2 OLD DUI's

    Carl Winslow replied to Carl Winslow's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    And did you get an unrestricted license after they were done investigating? Or did they put you on probation then once you appealed gave you an unrestricted? Also, do you by chance know if it makes it...
