Traffic Violations

Published

I live in California..I have passed my NCLEX for PN first time:) and the bad news is that board sent me a letter saying that they are evaluating my conviction record. It has been almost 4 weeks since I have recieved this letter and I took my test in end of January. I have like 7 speeding tickets on my court record:(. None of them was over $500 and I paid for all of them on time and I took the traffic school also. I m really worried about board denying the license. Can someone help me with their suggestions about this issue..thx

Work with the BON on this. They are the only people who can advise you at this point. You can ask them if there is anything you can do to help this along. Good luck to you!

omg, i am going through the same. i paid my tickets late, which led to a suspended license. i paid everything, and was in the clear before i graduated. i took nclex-pn in feb. a month later, the stupid board requests court documents, etc. which is stupid, because if they knew i passed, they should have requested them earlier. (only in california..i swear. -_-" ) then i find out a few days later, i passed nclex. i called my analyst last week, and he told me a few weeks more. wth?.. i would keep bothering the board, but im afraid they might just delay my license because im annoying. let me kno how it goes for u. and how long the wait is. hopefully you will get a response from them soon

I know someone who passed their PN boards in CA and had the ticket issue also. When they got everything straightened out and then attempted to communicate with the board again, the board told them that too much time had transpired and their application had been tossed. So, keep on attempting to contact the board and get this resolved. Whenever they toss your folder and you have to start over again, they collect your money again and you have no license. It makes no sense that one is allowed to take the boards before it is determined whether or not they are eligible for licensure, but tossing passing board results results in added revenue just as collecting revenue and then informing the person there are still hoops to be jumped through.

i took my boards back in on november 13th which was a friday.. found out i passed dec 9..my dumd ass analyst sends me a letter way in jan that i needed to show proof of a ticket paid which i did way back in 08 when i first initially tested.. i send that off asap!! then i got a letter saying she needs police report for a case im like ok.. i went to the sheriffs department then she has the nerve to tell me yu must arent listening to what im saying i need court documents.. this damn woman is confused she doesnt know what the hell she needs anymore.. then i get another letter weeks later in march i have 20 days to send back all court documents which i already did!!! im like ***!!! your messing with my life..who has weeks and more damn weeks of waiting!! when she should have specified what all was ""missing from my file which is some straight b.s.supposely she requested the documents to the courts i go up there the clerk is very friendly then she brings back my file and the letter from the cabvnpt..dated way back jan 12th 2010..im like ***!!! what are they still doing on someones desk..im glad she showed me because the court was gonna duplicated what i had already sent the board in 2008 same certified documents. the clerk can see my frustration. each certified paper is 25$..she copied and certified stamped seal everything for me for free!! of charge!! she was so nice.. my analyast sent me a request totally different from what she sent me.. and if i wasnt there to compare the letters i would be getting another letter saying please send "this...and that"..so i am still waiting it has been 4 weeks sent i went to the courts to get those additional papers she needed.. i pray to god!! i get something next week or even over this weekend.. these damn furlows days dont make it any easier!!i just want my license so i can finally start working!! ive been passed since december.. this makes no sense...my offense was a bad check that gave me a class c misd.did all the rehabilitations and community service probation has been up for years its other offenses way worse than mines i already heard from my analyst that i cant be issued a license unitl my file is complete but damn does it take 3+months!!im just very upset and my patience is almost about to expire!! but i dont have a choice but to wait i hope everyone gets some good news soon because this isnt right!!..any other experiences with convictions/tickets/ sus. license stories...if you dont have any experience with this topic please dont add your :twocents: good luck everyone!

ya freakin california. i called my analyst towards the end of march, and he actually picked up. he said it was still pending, unless i got a letter. and i would have to wait for it. then i asked to confirm if they got my paperwork. n yes they did. all he said was it wud take a few more weeks!,..gawd.i hate these damn furloughs.. and it seems like they jus hire anyone for this job.

I m so sorry Calinurse...it *****...I called so many times but my analyst never returns my calls back..I left him couple msgs...they are really irresponsible...if we act like they do we'll never get our licenses...how hard it could be to go through one damn application a day..or to return a call back..I sent them all the court papers and a personal statement..I dont think they need anything from me...and still no response...I m losing my all hopes :(
