    jss1985 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jss1985 replied to jss1985's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thank you :) By the way, just got off phone with NY BON. They dont do background checks for licensure (in NY), you just have to.check off whether you have misdemeanor or felony on the application. And...

    jss1985 replied to jss1985's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    jss1985 replied to jss1985's topic in Licensure: Criminal History
