   Hi StudentnurseNM, Can you tell me what shows up on your background, and what type of background check you did? School programs are actually fairly lenient on admissions: it's the BON that's the tough one. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to p...

   I haven't even thought about that, but that's a great idea. However, then you get into the territory of Civil Rights and I'm kind of fuzzy on ACLU practices. If you have an interlock device and blow over a certain amount (I think it's 0.04), the c...

   I never included this in my original post, but I wanted to highlight my situation here. I live in Napa. It's pretty interesting here, and all the old-time locals know every back road anywhere near a bar. There aren't as many as there used to be, ...

   The background checks in CA require fingerprinting and FBI checks. When you're arrested for DUI (and I'm sure for everything else as well), you're assigned an FBI file as well. As it's a federal agency, your arrests may not appear on national or eve...

   Another note for everyone... I've found an apartment close to campus (Adams Point neighborhood), just a little over a mile away. It's pretty good sized, so I'll be more than happy to host study groups, since I'm pretty sure I can cram a lot of my l...

   Hi All, I would have written earlier but was out of town. Just a heads up re Immunizations: turns out the immunization forms that were sent to us were out of date. The only major changes are that everyone needs to get 2 (yes, 2) TB tests prior to ...

   Well said, Tiger747. On a side note, I used to commute with a woman who's husband let the tires bald on their minivan (not that she couldn't have taken care of it, but you know what I mean), an accident was caused resulting in a fatality, and they w...

   Hey Sahar! I haven't even received my financial aid packet yet (I just left my financial advisor a message). I had played phone tag with her a few weeks ago and she said that SMU was just beginning to send the Summer students their packets. So I've ...

    Hi All, I was brought over to the accepted group and declined as well. I've got exams 3 weeks in a row before Finals week and my professors were not willing to budge on allowing me to take the finals early. Sooo...I'm sure someone has gotten a welc...

    I'm sad to say I found this thread that is close to my situation, since it means quite a few are in the same boat, but I'm glad to get some information. I've been sober for 3 years now (going to my Birthday meeting tomorrow) and have 2 misdemeanor co...

    Hi SkiBumNP, Thank you so much for posting and offering information. I hope you don't mind, but I'm already going to hit you up: In my interview, the Assoc. Professor made sure I understood that the first semester --primarily due to the Pathophysiol...
