texas board or nursing- non-disclosure

Why didn't you disclose it? They should have given you the option to explain your side on the application. Also if it happened when you were a minor how is it on your record? I thought that offenses as minors were sealed. At least I think that's how it is in Florida depending on the offense. Maybe I'm wrong hopefully someone else can chime in

Hi! I graduated in May, and my application is in review. I went into review in April. I am still waiting for my ATT. My 6-month mark will be in October. I finally got to talk to my investigator at the end of last month. The process for my case is as follows:

1. My case was reviewed.

2. After the investigator was done with her part, she forwarded my file to the director. This can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to get back. My case actually took 2 weeks. The director decides if you can test and what stipulations there are, if any.

3. After the director finishes his/her part, the file goes to legal. Sit back at this point, because this too can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks.

4. After legal, my file was sent back to my investigator. She will then mail me my letter stating the terms of licensure. I will have to sign it and get it notarized and send it back. When the BON receives my signed Agreed Order, they will present it during the next committee or quarterly meeting. The board meets once a month. If you don't get this letter back before they meet, you will have to wait until the next meeting which could potentially cause you to lose a month. This is where I am right now...waiting for my letter from legal. God willing, my file will go before the board during their quarterly meeting in October. After the board approves it during their meeting, the file will go back to legal to review and THEN I'll receive my ATT. I've heard that the file's 2nd trip to legal doesn't take very long. But we'll see.

My case has been a very long, frustrating process, but I'm finally seeing a very small light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there!
