   onehope67 replied to onehope67's topic in Criminal

   I had 75 questions and 31 were SATA (I kept track). Despite getting the bad pop up from Pearson, I indeed did PASS and was given an unrestricted RN license in the state of MI. Good luck to everyone!!!

4. Does the Pearson trick work for us with criminal records??? HELP!

   onehope67 replied to onehope67's topic in Criminal

   Update-- I got my license! The Pearson trick did NOT work for me. It gave me the bad pop up and I indeed had actually passed. I checked the state website at 6AM on the 22nd and my license had posted! That was a cruel, cruel trick Pearson!

   onehope67 posted a topic in Criminal

   Hi all, Took my NCLEX yesterday afternoon 7-20 and I have been checking Pearson/LARA all day for updates. I've tried the Pearson trick and it's telling me my credit card is invalid which I have heard means I fail. :( This is a feeling I would not wi...

6. Nursing school with a misdemeanor

   onehope67 replied to gamecockgirl2014's topic in Criminal

   In MI, I have two theft convictions and was able to get into a program and do clinical with no questions asked. The hard part comes for licensure and sitting for the NCLEX but you won't ever get there if you don't try. Absolutely try to get it expung...

7. RN program

   onehope67 replied to Cha_rn2B's topic in Criminal

   I agree with the other posters. Getting into a program is the easy part. Many schools are happy to take your money as long as you meet the requirements and time frames for the convictions. If your state board will give you any insight that would be g...

8. Any current nursing student with a petty theft?

   onehope67 replied to Mattie45's topic in Criminal

   Well I have good news and bad news. Bad news first-- in many states there is a time limit you must pass after convictions before gaining access to a clinical environment. In MI, 5 years must have passed since the date of conviction for someone to wor...

9. Clinical Site Background Check

   onehope67 replied to JoeW's topic in Criminal

   I truly wish you the best and hope you will be allowed entry for clinical. In no way do I want to discourage you but I had a juvenile misdemeanor conviction that showed up on my background check even though I had always been told it would be hidden b...

10. Praying for a second chance

    onehope67 replied to lovelyFay3's topic in Criminal

    I know how hard this is knowing that your fate truly lies within the hands of the board. You have to keep pushing forward. The best advice I was ever given in a similar condition is: you will never know if you don't try. You won't ever become a nurse...

    Carrie, I am in MI

12. Lifelong predicament, PLEASE help!!!

    onehope67 posted a topic in Criminal

    This may be the wrong place to ask this, I just don't know where the better place would be. I have 9 months left of nursing school and am anticipating problems obtaining licensure due to 2 theft misdemeanors (expunged but may still be an issue). I ma...

13. chances of being approved by the board???

    onehope67 replied to vpt9013's topic in Criminal

    Don't lose hope! As long as you send in the appropriate documentation I would think the state would give your application a chance. Beef up the statements and documentation and give them the best stuff you can. I wish you the best!

14. Becoming a nurse with a criminal record

    onehope67 replied to Daisyg124's topic in Criminal

    Well this depends. When you mention the application, you said facility so Im guessing you applied for employment? If you are in a CNA program and have to apply for licensure you will most likely need to disclose the conviction if asked on the applica...
