I've recently been accepted into nursing school, and am currently a practical nurse. I was dropped from classes because I'm still pending approval from the BON. I've always been honest about past arrest with employers, as well as with the BON. I'm under investigation for 2 misdemeanor charges that occurred 17/18 years ago and 1 recent misdemeanor that occurred 2 years ago. I've complied with the boards and sent everything asked of me, except dispositions, arrest records, court minutes, and arrest records for the charges tht are 17/18 years old. I've gone to every agency & court to obtain the records but am told due to me getting an expungement on 1 and the age of the other, that no records are available in the database. I have asked for letters explaining/stating that but have been unsuccessful. I'm an LPN for 10 years, worked in corrections, and as an allied health instructor, never been denied for any job. I've gotten several background checks that says no convictions, no records found, and no criminal records found. Also went to be fingerprinted by the state police headquarters. Still nothing. Every charge I've received has been closed or dismissed.
Are there anyone on here who's ever experience this? How can I provide something that doesn't exist? Is there anything else I can do? Should I go to my state representatives, general attorney's office? Should I give up because this has been overwhelming and very exhausting? Is there still hope?
Not looking for sympathy, or to be judged...I've made some terrible choices in my past, and have paid for my mistakes. I also realize I've done great for myself, and being an LPN for 10 years without disciplinary actions against my license says a lot about my character and how I've changed. I'm on all nurses seeing help!
Respectfully yours
