NCLEX Application

[HopefulRN4144]

I sent an email to the BON asking my questions to the email address they listed for application questions, but over 2 weeks later and they haven't responded yet, so I figured I'd ask here!

For education, does it only want the nursing school you went to? Not high school? If if you went to college previously for something, like MA or NA?

For employment history, do I only list employment that is related to nursing? It states, "If you are applying for an RN: Are you currently employed as an RN? If so, please identify employer and dates of employment." It makes it sound like I should only include employment history related to nursing or the medical field.

For criminal history, it asks about what you've been CONVICTED of. Not, what you're original charges were. I have 2 previous charges. They were both sealed (expunged). I was convicted of a misdemeanor and a traffic violation (what they say is misdemeanor of-und degree). In criminal history, in regards to expunged crimes, it says, "This includes crimes that have been expunged IF there is a direct and substantial relationship to nursing practice." I figure they all can have a relationship to nursing so better to just say yes and be honest than try to figure out if it has a "substantial relationship to nursing practice." But what I am confused about is...

Then application then takes me to an "Attachments" page, where it says, "If applicable, upload the Attachments for your license application..." The area where it says, "Add Attachment," says "Compliance Supporting Document. Compliance - Provide: Explanation of the events including the data/country/state of incident; certified copy of indictment/criminal complaint/plea/journal entry from the court(s). A copy of the court docket or case summary does not meet this requirement." What would be the compliance supporting document? I was given court documents when the cases were sealed. They told me to keep them because once sealed those would be my only records of it. They each include a page that has the original complaint filed with handwriting and stamps on it, court proceeding paperwork with handwriting and stamps on it, and a certified journal report (which lists dates going through the proceedings and what happened during those proceedings). Should I attach those?

So, it says certified copy of indictment/criminal complaint/plea/journal entry - So, I can submit the certified journal report. Should I just submit all the paperwork they gave me when the records were sealed?

For the explanation, do I just write something myself explaining the charges and submit that with the paperwork?
