Since my keyboard is finally working again, I have something I need to ask about. My class is entering our last semester and suddenly we get something in the mail asking us to consent to a CRIMINAL background check. Now, I've never been arrested/convicted/etc, so I have no criminal backgroud.....BUT: when I was fresh out of high school I attended a state university for one year and earned 3 credits. I did not attend any classes, was completely overwhelmed, stressed, depressed, drunk, etc. I wanted to start fresh and knew I wanted to go into nursing. I took all my pre-reqs with all A's and now am almost done with the nursing portion (all As and Bs). I know I should have told them about my previous college but I knew no credits would be transfered and really, really wanted to start fresh. I would seriously die if they kicked me out now. The only thing I can think of is that the check is done by an outside commercial agency so I figure that they may only include relivent criminal/arrest issues and info. Someone please????? Does anyone know anything about this? Will they only look at my criminal background (none)? I honestly could not find another career, nursing is my only interest (work related)....
