I'm applying to a nursing program in NJ, I'm a concerned that my background will disqualify me, I have a dwi from 8 years ago and 2 misdemeanors as well. I have an associates and bachelors degree as well. I hate justifying myself, but I'm a good hearted person, I took responsible and paid the price. I'm currently doing prerequisites for nursing. Anyone from NJ and have been in a similar situation? Any advice would help me out a lot.
