As I am getting closer to applying for the Spring 2017 start of my nursing program of choice I am feeling very anxious of my past faults.
When I was 18 I received a possession charge(marijuana), and also several driving on a suspended license(this was a snowball effect that started from a no insurance to me being an idiot and kept getting pulled over when my license was still suspended) and also a begging on the street ticket(homeless at the time)
I am worried these things are going to come back and bite me in the you know what.
On the application it asks you any criminal/felonies. I know I should check yes, but it doesn't even give you any room to explain the charges...eeekk
I am 32 now and I have had the occasional speeding ticket here and there.
Not really sure what I am asking from AN, any advice??
thanks

I know it sucks, but you need to be honest on those forms. If you don't, you will get in a lot of trouble. My nursing program ran a very thorough FBI background check on us.
