Hello Blacktea! Sorry for the extremely late response! I finally received my stipulated March 3, 2016 and my license went into effect May 20th. My employer who had been promising a position regardless of my probationary license decided to back out because "HR wouldn't allow them to hire me." Now I'm on the hunt for a job as a new grad with no experience and a probationary license. Wish me more luck, i'll need it. To make matters worse, getting into a BSN program with an encumbered license is another nightmare. It seems no schools will accept you. Let me know how things are going for you and if you can shed any light on getting into a program. Thanks!

I am looking into this program. How is it going for you so far?

I just spoke to an enrollment counselor at GCU and she said they require and unencumbered license. How did you go about appealing this requirement? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! I just spoke to an enrollment counselor and they told me they require an unencumbered license for admission. How did you go about appealing this requirement? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Hello, I only know of Pacific College in Costa Mesa. Did you have any luck finding a program? I'm on the same hunt and would appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

Hello, Pacific College is the only one I've been able to find and I only heard about it through this online forum. Any luck finding another program? Did you enroll at Pacific College afterall? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, If I had answers I'd give them to you. Unfortunately I'm in a similar situation. Any updates on your case? Have you been given your license yet? I'm waiting to hear back from the attorney general as well regarding a stipulated agreement. I would just like to know how long it takes to get licensed after the AG contacts you. Thanks again!

Hello, Any updates on your license? I was denied in June 2015 and opted not to wait for a hearing but rather enter into an agreement with the BRN. I finally got through to someone with my file at the attorney generals office this month and they said they'll send me something before the month ends. Can you give me a timeline from when you got denied to what your current status is? I would greatly appreciate it!

Hello, I've been tracking your story through your comments in other posts and I'm glad you posted your entire story because it's good to know I'm not alone. As many others here, I too have a similar story. I graduated Dec 2014 and applied for my license Oct 2014 (knowing there would be delays d/t a public intoxication arrest in 2011 and a wet reckless conviction in 2013). I sent in letters of character from 2 professors, 2 supervisors, my alcohol education counselor, court documents and AA program completion with my application. I got a letter in Jan 2015 stating they needed my paperwork. It turns out they had lost all of it. After multiple phone calls for months on end I finally got in touch with my "enforcement analyst" in March (she was on vacation and my file was sitting on her desk the entire time) and was able to resend her all of my documents. It took her 3 months to send me a letter in June stating my application was denied and I was given two options which I'm sure you already know about: wait for a hearing or enter into an agreement with the BRN. I opted to enter into an agreement because I thought it would be the fastest way to get my license and hopefully start work. At this point they let me take the NCLEX and I did so in July 2015 and my file was forwarded to the Attorney Generals office who would be drafting a statement of issues that then gets sent to the BRN for approval. It's now Dec 2015 and I had not heard anything from the attorney generals office so I decided to call and find out what's going on. I was able to get a hold of the person handling my file. He says he'll be contacting me before the end of the month. I know all of our cases are different, but how long do you think it will be till I get officially licensed? I don't plan on getting a lawyer because I can't afford one and just want this to get done as soon as possible regardless of probationary terms.
