I have read through many of these threads and I'm starting to get very very discouraged. I was convicted of a drug related felony (California) in 2008. I don't even do drugs.. ya, really long story. But, pretty bad, bad enough that I couldn't get it reduced before dismissal in Feb of 2011. I let my RN school know everything and they said I should have no problem (if expunged) to enter the program. BUT, the BRN is another issue. I've looked on their website and they've asked prospective applicants not to call on this isuue because they are too busy. I don't know what to do. Should I continue on in the program, take my chances, just to be declined at the boards? I have many people who can right letters on my behalf, the D.O.N. said she would when time came, and other people I work with. But is that going to be good enough? Please help!
I know this thread is really old...but I was searching the internet for answers to my particular problem and I'm really curious as to what happened with yours. I am not in nursing school but I'm majoring in speech pathology and am graduating. I'm applying to grad schools soon, and live scan is a requirement. I did the diversion program 16 years ago and had drug charges dismissed and sealed. Just curious because our professions are similar, what ever came of your situation. And what success stories are there out there??? Hope someone replies!!!
