Sorry I should have made that more clear. What i meant was be able to come back and land a job essentially. Or is that looked down upon to take time off after school. I'm talking in the range of 2 years or so

Hey guys, I am currently enrolled in a Nursing program in TN, but I have ambitions to travel the world. I actually purchased a sailboat with my fiance and we live on it here saving money. Our plan was to set sail for a few years off after I graduate, and be able to come back with a nursing degree. My question is....is this even possible? I fully realize the best option is to work at whatever opportunity I can get, but would I be able to come back with a nursing degree or is their a stipulation that you have to work so so hours? Thanks in Advance.

Okay, so I am currently an honor student with a 4.0 and all A's, about to apply for nursing school this fall. I recently have been reading about these background checks and now I'm worried. Heres my story. When I was 13 I had my first (sexual) experience playing hide and go seek with a friend, it was nothing major whatsoever. Well, their parents found out and were furious and decided they wanted to pursue prosecution for rape. Everything is really vague on this because I was so young. But I absolutely remember being fingerprinted at the courthouse and having to go to a preliminary court date with my parents. I did have an amazing attorney that got a pretrial diversion and I completed whatever program I needed to and wasn't considered convicted of anything. Everything was expunged after that. I was 13 freaking years old. I am now 27 and by the time I'm done with nursing school I will be 30 so it has been an extremely long time. My question is will this show up on the FBI fingerprint background check that they have to do? I have lived in TN my whole life, and I already contacted the TDOC and TBI and they assured me no record was found under my name a SSN and that all expungements are sent to the FBI and nothing will show up on a fingerprint background check. But I keep hearing that the BON have crazy access to records and are able to see even juvenile things like this. I also contacted the same finger printing company that they apparently use and they mentioned the FBI fingerprint results for personal check are different than what the BON gets. Once again, this is a serious sounding charge but nothing came of it. And I am a grade A person and student now. Will this effect me??
