Hello, has anyone had experience applying to take the NCLEX with a closed CPS case from the past? The case wasn’t filed and no charges were made because I received help I needed at the time through their services. It was only opened because she was with me when I was arrested and that left no one to care for her. It’s hard to even think back on it as it was a very traumatizing incident. The arrest itself ended up being a misdemeanor that was dismissed so I was charged but never convicted. Since then I’ve been working at a hospital for 2 years. I haven’t had any other issues. I’m about to graduate nursing school though and I want to be upfront about everything to the board when applying to take the NCLEX. I’m getting proof of my counseling I received to submit to them. The DCS case just shows “substantiated - neglect.” But it was resolved and nothing filed. I appreciate help/advice!!
