Do employers really look at your high school grades before hiring you?

On another thread a poster said that hospitals will look at your grades in high school as part of their hiring process. Is that true? This worries me a bit.

A little background...I am 35 years old and married with six kids. I am your typical middle-class, religious stay-at-home-mom. If people I know ever hear about the kind of teenager I was in high school they say "NO WAY...I don't believe it!" I was raised in the same type of home that I have now as an adult. My parents were good, religious parents who taught me right from wrong. However, when I was 15 I decided to choose the "wrong" friends and fell into the "wrong" crowd. I was a rebellious teenager. I smoke, drank, smoked pot, slept with my boyfriends, etc. Most of the kids I hung out with didn't go to school. So...I "decided" that I didn't need to go to school, either. I finished my junior year and then never returned.

At 17 1/2 I got pregnant with my oldest and it changed my entire life. I realized, overnight, that the way I was living my life was not me...it was not how I was raised. I decided that since I was now starting a family of my own that I needed to change my life to follow how I was taught...and knew deep down in my heart how I was really meant to live.

After my dd was born I took my GED test (without taking any of the prep classes) and passed with flying colors. I got a 100% on many of the sections. The testing proctor told me that he couldn't understand why I didn't stay in high school. I told him it was because I had a temporary case of "stupid".

Shortly after getting my GED I married my wonderful husband, he adopted our oldest and we started our big family right away. I have been a mother and wife ever since I was 18 years old.

We are now done having children and our youngest is 3 1/2. Last year I decided that it was a good time for me to start college and follow my dream of becoming a nurse. I started taking my academic pre-req's, working towards my RN. I have a 4.0 GPA in college.

Tomorrow I am starting my second week of the CNA course (at one of the best nursing colleges in my city). I'm loving the class and doing very well (I've gotten 100% on every test/quiz). I decided to get my CNA done now, so that I can work part-time to help with my college tuition costs and to get some hands-on working experience before getting into the RN program. I am taking my academic pre-req's slowly. I know that I personally can't handle school full-time while I have children at home. Five of my six children are currently in school all day. When my youngest goes to all-day kindergarten in two years I will be ready to start school full-time myself (and most likely will take a break from working as a CNA at that time).

OK...after all of that, here's my question! Is my past of being a stupid teenager 20 years ago going to effect my ability to get a good job as a CNA? I'm interested in working in a hospital. I would love to work on the postpartum floor or in the newborn nursery as I'm dreaming of becoming a L&D nurse. Our clinicals for the CNA program are at the hospital I'm hoping to work at.

I'm worried now.
