If the application specifically states to disclose CONVICTIONS then you don't have to disclose arrests which did not lead to a conviction. However, they will find out about them and you must be prepared to explain to the BON the circumstances surroun...
Bayern, You can wear black "bike short" style undergarments under your pt shorts. Those are authorized. I would recommend keeping them about the same length as the pt shorts.
Did they ask you if you have ever been arrested? I can't speak for all BONs, but many only ask if you have any prior convictions. You were not lying IF they never asked you about any history of being arrested. Don't give up.

Hi Nicunurse 13, I second what Midinphx stated. If you are determined to come in as a NICU nurse, make sure you have the specific identifier. It locks you into NICU. Keep in mind, if you desire to branch out into another area it may take years to get...

Natasha1989, Have you tried doing a background check on yourself? Psych eval results related to applying for a position in law enforcement would not be a part of their background check process. What they are looking for are any brushes with the law, ...
An arrest will still show up on an FBI background check because you were fingerprinted (assuming you were). Even if the record is sealed/expunged. If you are ever fingerprinted as part of a background check, be prepared to explain your story. I had a...
I too, was a professional waitress prior to nursing school. Worked at Red Lobster for almost 4 years..lol. I find it has helped me immensely with customer service skills (ie.."kill them with kindness") and with prioritizing tasks. I earned a BA in ...
You need to contact the BON and find out exactly what they need. Were the documents you sent certified by the court? Were you convicted of a crime, or just arrested?
Yes, she had a BSN when she was hired. I do know of associates prepared nurses working in military hospitals but they had been working there for years. If shes dead set on working in a hospital, she can look into volunteering at the red cross. Im pr...
