Ok, so I have been lurking and posting for years in fear of NEVER getting into nursing schoo-which I did...then, wondering IF I would ever get licensed-which I did..and then wondering IF I would ever find a job-WHICH I did. I was arrested almost 18 y...

I got accepted on Monday. I am guessing they are sending out letters soon. Even though my program is ADN/MSN

I didn't get anything?? Not an email denying admission or acceptance. When I call admissions, they have said "they hopefully will be done making decisions this week" which is april 3 on... I applied for ADN-MSN Ambulatory care. I am guessing they hav...

New Grad ADN starting full-time 34.86 in Oncology Acute Care. Per Diem is 45.00 and there are also weekend diff/night diff/evening diff.

You'll be fine..just be honest!

Congrats everyone..I am a new grad but an ADN grad and applied for any job available to get my foot in the door. I was hired as a cna on oncology. ARe any of the new hires ADN or are all of you BSN? I have a bachelors degree and am currently register...

I'm not sure what state your in and therefore, what the laws are regarding "dismissed" charges, etc. However, it may be that the arrest/s may only show up on a "live Scan" and not on your background check if the charges were dismissed. If I were you,...

You haven't really given any vital assessment/s? Pulse, blood pressure, RR, Temp???? What are her baseline vitals? What are they when/if she ambulates? Does she have pain? Fluid overload? Activity intolerance? I&O's...why dehydration? Risk for ar...

Hi pollypocklet! My case was almost 17 years ago. You should still be fine with your arrest. The CNA application asks "have you ever BEEN CONVICTED of a crime" not "BEEN ARRESSTED" so I called the dept of public health and saftey and asked them about...

Hi, I also have a drug misdemeanor that was dismissed due to a diversion program. I am in California so not sure if different states have different laws regarding the lisencing And pc codes. I was certified as a CNA with no problem and am finishing ...

Hi SoCalIVC, Yes, I had a "deferred entry of judgement" which means there is no judgment made until you complete/fail to complete the diversion program. I also had a possision charge (not under the influence). It was a felony arrest but was later dro...

I am not familiar with that pc code, either. I was charged with possession in 95 and did a diversion w/ pc 1000 and charges were dropped, so I was never convicted and there is some information about diversion and pc 1000 in the brn. So, pc 1000 is li...

I was arrested 16 years ago for drug posession and did deversion and was not convicted.however, I do have an arrest record and was just certified as a cna last month. I am currently in my last semester of nursing school and am still hoping to be lice...

I also posted this in the student section..Thanks in advance! HI everyone..I am so stressed right now..I was arrested almost 16 years ago for a possession charge and was granted pc 1000 or deferred judgement and with succesful completion of the progr...

AS long as you were honest and upfront, you'll be alright. Congrats on passing the NClEX! PLEASE UPDATE WHEN YOU GET YOUR LICENSE!

Congrats...

Don't waste your money getting something expunged off a record that your going to have to disclose anyway, It doesn't make much sense. I can see if you needed it off your record for clinicals or something, but the BRN WILL find out if you have ever b...

I don't understand why they wouldn't just have you run the background report and see if you pass, therefore, you would be able to do clinicals. I am also in CA..what is a class b?

Hi, yes, I sent you a private message with my email!

congrats on getting your license! That is a wonderful accomplishment and I know your are feeling so releived about it! I was wondering if you were able to get employment with your criminal history? I suspect you will probably have to do a "live-scan"...

Wow, that is devastating! I am so sorry. I may have missed something in your prior post, but did you notify the board that you had a misdemeanor/felony before appying for the nclex? Just curious and hope you get a license after the appeals process. G...

Oh gosh, I am sorry to hear that! What state are you in? I guess I am hopeful because I had a deferred entry of judgement and I am not sure if that will help me...I dunno, guess that is why I am asking on this board..

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I am keeping my fingers crossed...If we all could have a "do over" button, huh?

HI everyone..I am so stressed right now..I was arrested almost 16 years ago for a possession charge and was granted pc 1000 or deferred judgement and with succesful completion of the program, the charges were dropped. So, I really do no have a convic...

I'm starting February 1st, also..I bet your at Golden West! I am also registered for Pharm and really excited and nervous. No advice for you as I need tons myself. Good luck and happy studying!!!!!!!!!!!!!
