Resolution to Conviction

Published

Anybody else waiting for their license because of a resolution to conviction pending? I had a trespassing and vulgar language charge 13 years ago and am waiting for the GBoN to review my case. It's hard to believe how you past will come up and bite you hard... :crying2::crying2::crying2:

I also live in Ga. and I am also waiting for the GBON. In 2004, I was charged with" theft by receiving " for a car I bought. I was give 3yrs of probation and my record was sealed, under the provisions of the "Act for probation of first Offenders". I have already take and passed boards. My my case went before the board in May 2010. I was told that I a letter would be mailed to me 8-15 days after they reviewed my case. I waited the 15 and had still not received anything in the mail. So, I called today to see what was going on. I was told that my case was now in the legal dept. and they were in the process of creating a "consent agreement". This document will be mailed to me via certified mail and I would be required to agree, sign and return it in order to receive my nursing licence. I am not exactly sure what they want me to consent to? and in signing this what kind of stigma; If any would be attached to my licence? and for how long? I could see if I had a history of drug abuse, DUI conviction, fraud or even a violent past. I have already been offered a job as an R.N. and scheduled to start orientation. I was told that It could take up to another 3 weeks before I would be given my licence. I looked into all of this before I was even applied to nursing school and was told that I should not have any problems. For the most part it was true. I had no problem with the background check to get into nursing school, no problem with clinical placement and minimal problems with getting my ATT. Hell, didn't have a problem getting a job in a local hospital while I was in school. The same hospital that offered me the R.N. position. All my problem started once passed boards. What am I going to do? I will post an update as to what the terms of my agreement are once it arrives. Thank You for reading.
