How are you able to pass background check for school

[suzieQRNstudent]

The biggest problem in this area is passing the background check for entrance into school. If you get denied because of your background you can appeal the decision but it's more work then what you would need to do for the BON and the, IF they schedule a hearing you might get in. So how is everyone passing by only to find the road blocks at the BON level? I can't seem to make it that far. From the documentation I have and my active CNA license I didn't figure it would be this hard. Is Florida just a rough state school wise or what?

My problem was the opposite: I applied for nursing school and completed the background check with no problems. I got a job as a tech in a hospital, and that background check came back clear as well. Previously, I had worked for Homeland Security, and that background check came back clear. Now, in May, 4 days before I graduated, I got a letter from the TX BON that I'm being sent to enforcement for checking "No" on their background check. They told me I'll have to wait 4-6 months. Meanwhile, I had accepted, in February, an internship which begins now, I'm still waiting, and I call the BON once or twice a week which seems to really make them angry. I have no idea what to do, and I am extremely uncomfortable waiting on someone else to decide my fate. My arrest was a misdemeanor from 2001, and I never had to appear in court, never had to plead at all, and I was told for years that the County I was arrested in had no record of my arrest. I even completed my own background check on myself last month and still cannot find anything. I might lose my dream job over this and it is completely unjust.
