Background Check problem & worried

Nurses Criminal

Published

Heya friends,

I have been accepted into a lpn program starting in June at a local community college and I got a call from the secretary saying i needed to come in and speak w/ the director about my background chk. I didnt realize this was coming up but it was a arrest from 1997 domestic violence battery. I wasnt convicted , I was cleared of the charges but i had to take anger mgmt and do comm svc at the salvation army but why is it showing up on my record if the charges were cleared? Now she wants a explanation and I cant continue until. I called the clerk of court and got a certified copy of the final disposition to be mailed to me to show her, and it was so long ago I cant remember it, and didnt remember it... It was a bad relationship and that was so long ago. what do i do? im really worried now and gonna be because I really wanted to become a lpn and eventually a RN with future goals. Am i doomed now?
