ok, here is my situation...
I was a RN student at my local college and had to withdraw because of family issues. I did amazing while attending that school, but I am now trying to get into a RN program at a different school ( not going back to the one that I was previously in b/c the instructors claim they care, but do not). So, here's what I'm struggling with. After speaking with the Nursing dept advisor, I explained to him that recently I was charged with a misdemeanor ( nothing to do with drugs or violence) he said that I shouldn't have a problem getting into the program since it was not a violent crime. But when I have completed my courses and sit for the NCLEX, will I be able to become licensed with a misdemeanor on my record? I know this may be a touchy subject for some, but I am truly sorry for what I had done and I am trying to turn my life around for myself and my children. Any advise or tips/suggestions anyone may have will be greatly appreciated!
