Will I get a refund if I'm denied a reapplication?

It's still the same way non-refundable..I lost my $150...

Thanks for the response Iammaj28. Well I guess I'll just take that chance. I wouldn't want to go over sending in all those requirements again for another state. I just hope I won't be denied. My classmate was able to take it twice, and that person I met who went to the same school as me was able to take it 4 times.

Yes that is non-refundable..

But why you think they would deny your application?

What state are you in?>

I'm currently living in Nevada and I'm thinking they might deny me when I read that other thread. When he/she submitted a reapplication, California all of a sudden told that person that he/she was denied due to lack of clinical hours.

That might not be the case with you..if he/she got denied that doesn't mean they will deny all the re-takers.Just send your application and wait for 2 weeks..you should be okay GOOD luck:)

Thanks WeirdNurse! I feel less anxious now. :) It would be hard for me to finish up my review not knowing what might happen.

I was planning to send in my reapplication for the California Board of Registered Nursing tomorrow, until I stumbled upon this topic tonight:

Now I'm actually worried. I'm aware that application fees are non-refundable. But what happens if I were to be denied a reapplication, even after I received my ATT and already took the exam the first time? Will they refund my $150 for this case?

The only applicants who are affected by the current changes imposed by the BRN in California are foreign graduates. If you're not a foreign graduate, then there's nothing to worry, but if you are, it doesn't really mean that you're application will be automatically denied. They have to check your theory and clinical. If you've taken them at the same time then they will give the ATT but if not, they will deny it.
