Hi! I am wondering what my chances might look like for getting into FNP school! I plan to attend online as I work full time. I graduated with a 3.4 BSN GPA and an ok cumulative (not sure but I know it was above 3.0). My main problem is a dumb DUI and Possession of Marijuana I have on my record from almost 10 years ago. Sometimes, it doesn't come up, but I always admit it on the fore front to be safe. Should I give up applying to FNP school due to this hidious background? Or is there anyone out there that could give me a little hope? I work hard now, have never had charges since being a nurse, never got into trouble or failed drug screens... Just dumb choices as a teenager which haunt me. I am nervous to even apply but I know I have what it takes to succeed if I am given the chance. Let me know you thoughts. PLEASE!!
