I'm sorry to hear you went through that, and glad to know you're doing better now! Can I ask what do you mean by, the drug diversion program is far worse than criminal probation? Do you think something like this needs to be disclosed to the BON, and also for CRNA school? Thank you!

Thank you for your response. I have not inquired with the school yet, and I believe on my DOJ state check, it shows there was an arrest record but that the charges were dismissed and does not show any details. I obviously do not want to disclose, if it is not required to do so.

Thank you for your response! So there is not a question for the board that pertains to an "arrest record" record related to drug diversion? Were your charges dismissed, once you entered and completed drug diversion?

**Reposting under this topic discussion, as I did not receive any information in my other topic discussion I had this posted in. Hello, So a little background information for context: I am 41 and finally pursuing my dreams as a mid-life career change. My hopeful intent is to complete my ADN here in CA and take THE NCLEX. Land a job as an RN, and finish my BSN while working. I would like to work in an acute/critical care pediatric setting PICU etc. for a few years, then apply for CRNA school. I have a drug simple possession/under the influence charge from 2000. I entered a plea and completed a diversion program to have all charges dismissed. This has never came up on any job application, nor have I ever been required to disclose this either. Now, I understand this is a very different situation as far as being a state registered nurse and needs to be disclosed regardless. My question is: Has anybody had a similar situation, and was able to become an RN and onto a CRNA? I am having hard time finding any information regards to these types of situations. I understand there may be a good reason for that, however 20+ years ago for a mistake I made as a very young man, should not define the rest of my life. Any information in regards to all of this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading!
