BON, NCLEX & misdemeanors

[kk2000]

Hi.

Just wndering if anyone has, or knows anyone who has been approved to take Nclex with a criminal history?

I know it is supposedly judged on a case by case basis, but was wondering if anyone has first hand experience with this situation.

The student in question has a few bounced checks that she was arrested for. Once was back in the 80's and the other about 3 years ago.

Also have a friend with a DUI from about 5 years ago. Just wondering if they will both have problems getting approved.

Any info appreciated!

Our program director instructed students to be sure ANY prior issues be cleared up before background checks. She advised that they get all info showing the matter was cleared up to have on hand in case anything came back it would show that they were resolved and that should prevent any problems with licensing.
