Can I get into the Nursing Program???

Hi, I'm currently a pre-nursing student and this is my last quatrer in school before i get accepted into the nursing program. I have some concerns and questions that i'm deeply worried about because i have some misdemeanors on my criminal record but it was over 9 years ago. The charges were criminal trespass and affray and i'm so scared i want be able to go to clinicals when they run my background. I called the Board of Nursing but they couldn't help me.The only thing they told me was it goes by a case by case basis. I'm so scared anf frustrated because i dont know what to do.Ihave always wanted to become a nurse and now is my chance and i may not.Somebody please help if you have any suggestions for me please help!!!!!!!!
