   Thanks for the reply but as I mentioned before felonies can not be expunged. And by "minor" felony I mean that it was not murder, rape etc. There is a BIG difference between murder and some petty theft but they are still both felonies, hence the wo...

   RN-NewGrad replied to cornpoohRN's topic in Criminal

   Similar thing happened to me. I had a conviction many years ago that I was told would be removed and I believed it and moved on and sorta forgot about it. So over the years I have never reported it to employers and have never been denied employment...

   Thanks for your reply. I already know it's on my record as a felony theft because the background check done prior to my licensing. I have also looked into seeing if it can be expunged, it can't. It was committed before 18 technically but I was cha...

   Does anyone know FIRST hand whether or not a hospital will actually consider a candidate with a felony on their record? More than 14 years ago when I was only a teenager, I was charged as an accomplice in a theft. I DID NOT do the crime and I actual...

    RN-NewGrad replied to CDNtobe's topic in Illinois

    If you are done with prereqs in December, you might get in by March. That's what my experience was but it could be different now. Also I applied while I was still in my last prereq. A quarter is half a semester or an 8 week session. Each nursing ...

    RN-NewGrad replied to CDNtobe's topic in Illinois

    I recently finished the WCC nursing program and the most important thing is that you have all the requirements met. You have to be finished with all the prerequisite courses before they accept you but you can apply while still taking them. I did ju...
