Just wanting to get some feedback on what to expect when applying for licensure to taking the nclex in Oklahoma. Thank u so much

Thank you. What Im wondering is if I do, skip and go straight to getting my RN, will employers still see that I did go to school for lpn back in 2011? Thanks so much for you guys input

Bon told me I have to take a refresher course then I can begin the process of getting approval for licensure. They said I should be able to, of course I will have to explain my background. I have an opportunity to take this refresher course soon. But I'm debating if I should just start over, go for rn and not take this refresher. Really dreading explaining this 5 year gap of not getting my license and/or getting simply rejected. I already have a criminal record that's going to make things harder for me. Will me graduating in 2010 show up on a background also?

I've spoken to the Ok BON about getting my license.... they said I should be able to get it as long as I do not have a felony...

I'm thinking they do, but have not yet been employed yet. Wondering if when u apply for a job if the employer actually looks at the date u graduated nursing school and the date u obtained license. I would think they would ask this in their applications, but again no experience yet. The reason I am asking is because I have about 5 year gap there. Wondering badly this would affect my chances at employment, in Okc, OK area. All advice welcome.

Hey guys I'm in the process of getting my lpn license in oklahoma. I graduated nursing school in Dec. Of 2010 in texas, never took boards. I got in trouble shortly after graduating, got on a bad path in life. I got a theft shoplifting misdimeanor charge 2011, violated probation 2012 with a DWI, then evading arrest 2013, all misdimeanors. I am most likely able to get my license in oklahoma, but my question is about finding employment. I know nursing is in demand, but wondering if anybody in a similar situation has had a tough time actually finding a job here. All advice welcome. Thank you.
