WI uses NURSYS to verify their licenses. Sounds like she didn't go through NURSYS, and that's where the problem was..... because when she finally paid the $30 to have her WI license verified through NURSYS, it went through.... Sounds like she didn't do enough research on what was required. I wouldn't blame it on WI, I'd blame it on her- it's her job to do her homework and know what is required before applying for a license........
