O.K. I am so confused. I am 24 and started going to school again. I would love to go into nursing but I am confused about the way the board evalutes people with criminal records. All I keep coming up with is it's done on an individual basis. I was convicted of a violent felony when I was nineteen and spent four months in jail. It was an isolated incident. I have since made a complete turn around. My concern is that I will spend my money putting myself through school and will be denied. I know someone who had several felony drug convictions and she got her license. Has anyone out there been in this position or know of anyone with circumstances similar to mine that weren't denied. Any information would be much appreciated.
