This post is old but I am hoping you see and can answer me. I recently applied for NJ RN license initial application. I checked "NO" for prior convictions because I did not have any. When the FBI check came back it flagged an arrest that occurred when I was 18yo. My mother physically assaulted me then went to the police station the next day to teach me a lesson. I was arrested, finger printed and released. I never paid bail or spent a night in jail. The messy family dynamic caused me to block this from my memory. Fast forward almost 20 years later, I get a flag on FBI search. The charges were dismissed but now the NJ BON wants to know why I failed to report this. I honestly could not recall this incident and the timing made me unsure if I was 18 or a minor when it occurred. I submitted all documents (police report, dismissal and personal statement) they then requested an additional statement from me to answer why I said NO. I submitted everything this week but I am fearful they will deny my application for something that occurred 20 years ago and was dismissed. Could you share more about your experience with NJ BON during this process as I am worried I just spent thousands of dollars on an education that I will not be able to use.
