Hi im a cna and been one for 5 years . however i have charges that i was never convicted of and i still was able to get my cna lis in 2010. Now i have applied for a hospital in enviormental svcs here in tampa and Its to get my foot in the door because Im in school for nursing preq. Im scared my background will get denied. It has never been denied for any cna job. Im bitting my fingers waiting on a background check. What do they look for help please

Welcome!

I've never heard of Baycare Hospitals. However, most pre-employment criminal background checks are at the state level as well as the federal level. This the reason you are asked for the last five to seven years of home address history prior to the check.

I believe for employment background checks potential employers can only see convictions and not arrests. State boards can see everything.
