   mariamichelle9 posted a topic in Criminal

   I have been doing my pre-req's for about two years now. Yes, I am a recoving addict, with a felony and also with a DUI/sleeping medication. Nursing is what I want to do. I actually want to work in crisis centers with juviniles and I would like to help them before they do what I did, I am now in my 40's. My felony is actually a burglary, I opened someones car and took 21cents when I was hungry. Yes is was wrong, I was actively using, and very sick at the time. I do have awesome letters of reference , one from a police officer, and one from my pastor. The letters will be given to me when I am needing them. I have heard that there are certain states are are more lenient on getting into the schools then others. I am now in Georgia. My felony was in Florida and my family is in Philly. Does anyone have any advice for me? My GPA is a 4.0, and has remained there, I work hard and will not give up, unless God re-directes my path to do so. thanks so much

   Hello, I have been doing my pre-req's for two years now and still hold a 4.0. I am not giving up!! Yes, I also have a felony on my record from 2005, and a DUI. I am a recoving addict, but my felony is not a posession, it was a burglary, from opening someones car that was not mine (not taking the car, opening it). Regardless of what I did, it was wrong. I do have great letters of recommendation, from a police officer, my pastor and others. But I just want to be able to get into a school. I am doing some research early, I am willing to relocate if I have to, just to get my seat in a nursing school. I have heard that certain states are more willing to give some of us like me a chance. ( I am not wearing my glasses when writing this, so if there are typos, I am so sorry:idea: thanks !!
