I am currently studying for the HESI. I have a domestic violence charge from 2003. Wondering if this will stop me from being accepted? Does anyone have any information about background checks?

Is it a misdemeanor DV assault charge?  You should really call the school.  The Maricopa Community Colleges nursing application says any assault or violent crime misdemeanor charge can disqualify you.

I also have have a misdemeanor charge for a "crime of moral turpitude" I am hoping gets dismissed, so I understand.  I would contact GWCC or any of the Maricopa community colleges.

Thank you! I did speak with an advisor  I was told if I get the charge set aside I should be okay.
