Now what

Hi guys, years ago I entered a 3yr consent agreement after diversion.  I completed that agreement and now have an unemcumbered license in Texas.  I am in the DFW area.  I was a board order though and not TPAPN so it will forever be a part of my record and will show I was disciplined when a professional license background is ran.  I applied for my dream job and on the application they asked if your license had ever been subject to discipline or sanction.  I checked yes and was given a box to explain.  I interviewed and was offered the job.  Now that I am waiting on background I am becoming increasingly nervous again.  Its a horrible feeling.  I know most, if not all, the hospitals in in the Dallas/Ft Worth area will not hire a nurse with stipulations but what about after you complete your board order?  I start to worry that maybe they didn't pay attention that I checked yes to the question.  I worry that even though my license is now unencumbered they are going to see the history and rescind my offer.  Does anyone possibly have any insight into such a situation?

Did you get the job?  I'm just curious.  I was also disciplined and just started my probation with stipulations and it's been very difficult finding a job.  I just got turned down from dialysis which I hear are usually probation friendly.  It so very disheartening.
