Hello all, I am currently a nursing student set to start my clinicals in the fall. I do have a criminal background. I was wondering if anyone here has run into trouble doing clinicals. I call the coordinators at my school and much to my surprise she just told me to wait the 7 years, which is how far back employers look at your background. I did not want to accept this as I have worked extremely hard to get to where I am now. I am freaking out. I have called the area hospitals and they all have told me to talk to me, clinical coordinators. Has anyone here dealt with a similar situation or something close to it? This is going to make me lose my mind. I have made some less than desirable choices but I refuse to let them stand in my way. Thanks
