Ok thank you really appreciate the information. I'll report back here regardless of the news when the time comes. Never had any issues like this being a paramedic lol...

It was 5 years ago, arrested and thrown out before reaching court...this situation is like a shadow over me. I was very happy as I am sure you were, to get the arrest expunged...only to find out it really has the potential to wreck a career in nursing. Thank you for your responses! Also I forgot to ask- even though you had an expunction in progress did you tick 'yes' to having an arrest previously?

Not yet; what happened is the BON emailed me with the authorization code to do my background check. But before I do that I wanted to see if my expungement had cleared 1. I did a DPS and FBI check for myself 2. The DPS had cleared my arrest but the FBI has not Because the arrest has shown up on one of those databases I am worried I will have to do the DO and miss out on my program regardless. I have sent an email practically begging the DPS to send the court details to the FBI to get it off their database...it has been almost 90 days but they said on the phone the FBI one will not clear until 26th August. So now I am torn between giving up on the program or signing a DO and potentially losing my spot anyway. I am not normally this defeatist but this system is not fun to be a part of...

Did you do a declaratory order and send in documents other than proof of expungement? From what I am reading around here it takes so long to be resolved...so even if I submit a DO now I still might be late for my program that starts 26th August...

@BriD-6 I am curious how you are getting on now? I had an arrest expunged in April also, but it showed up today on a personal FBI background check. My state check has already been cleared.... but they said the FBI database won't clear until August 26th (which also happens to be the start date of my program). This sucks so much. I don't know what to do.
