What is ACD? And if you don't mind me asking what were you arrested for?

jnurse86,

I am going through something similar. I recieved an open container ticket when I was 18. It was a ticket for a traffic infarction and not a misdemeanor. I recieved a letter stating my application was referred to the enforcement department to determine if there is a cause for them to deny it. I am freaking out. I don't know exactly what they want any of the letters to say for them to allow for me to test. I would appreciate any feedback to help me out. Thank you!

ACD mean Adjourment in contemplation of dismissal, when is your first arrest the judge send you to a class, if completed everything will be dismiss

Depending on your crime. It is unfair to tell prospective nurses that the first charge is automatically dismissed because you attend a class. This varies by charge and from state to state, even different counties WITHIN a state will have different guidelines.
