I had a couple of felonies when I was younger, I did not mention these when I got my Colorado nursing license. That was more then 7 years ago. Like Cindy was saying only idiots incriminate themselves when they do not have to. If you want to bring up personal dirt when you do not have to then have fun flipping burgers, idiots have to be weeded out somehow. As far as the new background checks in Colorado it is still just talk, probably will not happen for years. When they do current license holders will most likely be grandfathered in. I am not worried about it. Lots of bad BON advice on this forum, make me wonder how much of it is coming from BON themselves trying to promote fear and worship.
