criminal background

Published

Hi, I was recently accepted to the LPN program in ms and I have a misdemeanor in telephone harassment. I was accepted but will start May 2016. My question is if I was accepted and my background wasn't ran yet will I get kicked out? I talked to the director of the program and she had me sign a conference form stating I understood I may be disqualified from both or either background checks from the contracted sites or the msbon so I'm confused if I was accepted why would they accept me? I wouldn't think they would accept me if I had a charge and waste a seat.

Why not ask the school?

I ask but really all they say is just wait and see what happens. I asked people who graduated already and they be like "as long you told them when you applied than you should be fine. The only way you get kicked out is if you hide it from them." I'm just don't knowy friend told me they make everyone sign those papers. I can't get excited until I know.

Your problem does also involve the BON. You can graduate and still not be allowed to take the NCLEX or have stipulations on your license.

I talked to the BON and they said it shouldn't be a problem as long as I show my document saying I paid the fine. Do you know how I can expunge the charge?

You will not get kicked out you you revealed your background do not worry you were honest and that's a fraction/ misdemeanor. If you assaulted physically are had a felony I would tell you to worry. You are okay.
