Ebay went Bad....

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum and just in need of a little moral support.

I reside in the state of California. Sacramento to be exact. Well back in 2003, I was an ebay powerseller. I ended up in trouble and was charged with "grand theft" and spent the night in jail. I eventually was given 2 years probation in 2005. My case went on for 3 years until I was actually charged. I ended up with a misdemenor w/2 years probation. My private attorney was able to get my felony down to a misemenor.

In 2004, I was charged with a "felony" because I had ordered some products from a company and put them in my bankruptcy. I was convicted because of the fact that I "knew" what I was about to do. I am currently on probation 2 years and have to pay restitution back. Which I am currently doing now. I was placed on house arrest for 3.5 months. I had no private attorney on this case and probably why I ended up w/a felony.

I am applying to the nursing program on "monday" and I asked the director of the nursing program if I would be accepted to the program. She told me "yes" however, before sitting before the board, I would have to get all court documents etc, prior and submit all this to the board of nursing.

I was also told by the BON that they take every case into consideration?

My question to anyone out there:

Please respond if you have been in a similar situation in California, like myself? Was it successful?

Thanks for all your time.
