This has just been something that has been on my mind for a few days and I haven't been able to research or get a straight answer from anyone, but does anyone know what they look for (in terms of records, criminal activity, etc) when you're applying to take your NCLEX or even for your nursing license? Are there any other things besides the obvious criminal records and activity that could potentially keep you from taking the test and getting your license? Just a thought I have been curious about lately. Thanks!

I'm currently going to school to get my LPN and my program that I'm in is only a year long so I definitely need to start thinking about where I want to go after I'm done with this program. I definitely want to get my BSN at some point and I want to go that route after I get my LPN. I'm not opposed to getting my ADN first if I have to and then go on to a ADN-BSN program but at this point I'd rather go straight into the BSN after I get my LPN. Generally speaking, is it easier or harder to get into a BSN program right after you get your LPN? I would be going in as a transfer student and would be going into the traditional BSN program and not a LPN-BSN program. Would schools more likely take someone who already has a diploma in a nursing field already or do they tend to be harder on someone like me who would have their LPN compared to someone right out of high school?
