Excerpts from Texas Board of Nursing website and Petition for Declaratory Order Form
- Applicants with eligibility issues (a positive criminal background screen and/or answering "yes" to questions 2-5) that could prevent them from taking the NCLEX examination, upon completion of a nursing program, must complete the eligibility review process. If you have a positive criminal background screen, you will NOT be admitted into SHSU's Nursing program without an outcome letter from the Board of Nursing for the State of Texas stating that you have been granted permission to write the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). The eligibility review process permits the Board to make decisions regarding an applicant's eligibility for licensure prior to entering or completing a nursing program. Effective January 2018, applicants should wait for the initial outcome letter (for those not receiving a blue card) before submitting a Declaratory Order. However, they can submit paperwork in advance if they must also answer "yes" to questions 2-5.
