I am a recent BSN graduate who passed NCLEX last January and my state has decided to not give me my license until I send in all court records and numerous other information due to my FBI fingerprinting scan hits.
I am a 24 yr old male and already have accepted a trauma ED position and this is really putting a damper on my hopes of becoming a nurse, and life in general.
Two of my four charges have been totally dropped and the state of Illinois did not even pursue those cases. I understand the state's need to make sure everything is OK and I am not a felony or a threat to society by becoming a RN. I have changed and worked soooo hard to get her where I am today (volunteering in inpatient behavioral health unit with adolescents talking to them about making right choices once they are out, etc) and know it feels like I am just wasting my time. People may change but their past never will.

how long did it take from you sending in the court docs till you got your paper license?
