Background Check

Hello: I know OCC well and the Detroit area. I was born there and grew up there. There are many community colleges in metro area that are great.

I attended Kellogg community college recently (within 2 years) and had a misdemeanor on my record). It had to be a nonviolent occurrence and be over 5 years old on your record. You can't have any physical crimes or crimes against vulnerable individuals. Anything like that, nursing as a career is off the table.

Luckily for me I had an acceptable situation, nonviolent and over 5 years. It seemed most of the community colleges around here had that stipulation. I was informed that people were being enrolled with recent DUIs. It was a no if you had two though. Of course, you could speak with the counselor for the nursing department. They cannot disclose anything that you discuss with them.

Going to LARA on the state website also will tell you a lot.
Yes, it is my understanding that you can expunge a misdemeanor. I was told after 7 years. That is on my list. I spent $70,000 plus fighting my case and still coming back from that. I am going to consult with an attorney on how to expunge my misdemeanor. I've been told that 1 felony can be expunged after 10 years. Fortunately, that is not something I have to deal with. I have not had even a speeding ticket since my nightmare. Hope I helped. I got my LPN and will be moving to Alabama. Then I will think about school again and my RN. Good luck to you.
