Maricopa school with misdemeanors

[Celeste5012]

Hello I really need to hear from some current nursing students in Arizona. I am currently accepted into a Maricopa school for nursing and cant wait to start. However, I do have 2 misdemeanors. I have passed the background check and received a fingerprint card but I am now reading in the student handbook that I am supposed to disclose any charges no matter how old. My charges are 15 years old and did not show up on the background check. Should I still tell the director of nursing? Ive never been asked outright if I have any old charges, I assumed passing a background check was sufficient. My concern is clinicals. My school states that some of the clinical agencies have more stringent requirements. Ugghh! What would you do? I want to be a nurse but I don't want to get halfway through and be asked to leave the program.
