What are my options of becoming a nurse ,, a private school,

Or should I become a EMT-P??[/QUOte


Which program are you in?


Try the LPN program and work your way up from there

Can someone please tell me, how for do they go back on on a "background Check" in Tennessee?

Is anyone there?

I don't recall a background check having been done when I first applied for my license. That was 11 years ago - things may have changed since then.

Ebonygirl,

I am sorry, but I don't remember how far back they went. My advice would be to ask the Dean of your nursing program.

Sorry that I couldn't help more.

yES THEY DO BACKGROUND CHECKS .. I DONOT KNOW how far back they go though.

I think its a long ways back. A lot of girls in our program had MIP's(minor in possession) alcohol or what have you, and they all had to fill out specific paperwork for that charge. Needless to say, they all were approved to sit for the boards, so just b/c you have a record doesnt mean you wont get approved, I think it just takes longer, more money, and an indept research of your history. I think its called a declatory form?
