Background Checks

Nurses Criminal

Published

I had an interview on an OB floor last week and was called in for a 2nd interview tomorrow with some of the nurses, a peer interview. I was arrested in 2006 for domestic violence but was not charged with the crime. It was dismissed on court cost. I'm worried like CRAZY about this and need some advice... I didn't have any trouble getting licensed here in Alabama. I did have to send in a copy of the case action summary and once I did that I was authorized to test for NCLEX. The hospital I'm interviewing at does background/drug screens after they interview and select. Any advice? Need some help...

Does anyone know how hard it is to get approved for VA BON? I have 2 misdemeanors from over ten years ago? I have all my documentation ready and will be honest and upfront on the app to sit for nclex but are they impossible? Does anyone know?

I have two misdemeanors from six years ago and i just finished submitting my documentation to the VA BON yesterday. This is just to take my state test to become a CNA. I'm hoping that I'm able to take it and it won't affect me down the line because I apply for nursing school in March.

Good luck with the process, let me know how long it takes and what they say. I'm curious if it takes a long time to just even sit for nclex. Also, did you put on the application what you had done and then just submitted documentation all at once? That is what I want to do to not hold up the process.

Thanks. I put the information on the application as well as sending in the info about my convictions. They sent me a letter to write a statement about what happened and what have I done to change and if I had to pay court fines and etc. I sent all of that in Monday.

Any word back yet, I am curious how long Va BON takes with incidents like this...UGH.

I am concerned about trying to get certified documentation b/c I contacted the courts and the records get tossed after ten years. So how do you get anyting that is official to give them?

I'm still waiting to hear back. The receptionist told me it could take 6-8 weeks

I can't pm yet since I don't have 15 post. I hope my other post goes through

Since you weren't convicted it will not matter but you should get it expunged. It costs $60 and you can do it yourself. Google "how to expunge an arrest record". Good Luck!
