If a graduate nurse has some some "blemishes" on her background check, at what point should this be mentioned to the interviewer?
I say to mention it upon a job offer, if it is offered at the first interview before the background check. Gives a chance to briefly explain and no surprises.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated-especially from someone that actually does hiring in a facility .
We are talking about misdemeanors-nothing violent or drug/alcohol related.
Have any of you with felony or misdemeanor convictions looked into your states' process for executive clemency or "Pardons"? It may behoove you to do so. You have nothing to lose by petitioning. I'm sure you are all resourceful enough to find your state's pardon board and get an application. You may be surprised at the results. I was, (and quited pleased)
