Passed NCLEX/PN, delay in license due to past conviction

[lettymay]

Please help,,, I just recieved my results from BON, I passed the NCLEX/PN

However, my license is delayed until they review my criminal conviction from seven yrs ago. It was a petty thief, and now I am scared, worried sick, anxious and more. Are they going to deny my license due to this conviction?

I sent them all the info with my application. A letter explaining the incident, all the certified records and an expungement record.

I know every case is handled on a individual basis, but I just would like to know if you or anyone else you know has been able to recieve their license with a criminal conviction after passing the NCLEX/PN.

I have worked so hard, and my heart is acheing to think all may be lost.

Thank you, and God Bless.

Oh, by the way, I am in California, and had to wait over a month for my results. now it will be longer yet. I call the BON they said another week or more.
