Did they give reasons for your denial?

where can someone get the study guide? i just graduated and am starting to review a little (although i have been doing nclex style questions from day 1 and reviewing the many NCLEX books i have)

we had FBI fingerprint backgrounds done, so it checks anywhere in the country. it is the same background they check at the BON. what is really bad is that i called and the court said i could have had it expunged from my record - i would have done that if i knew something was on my record! goodess, i am hoping that the BON realizes that i really did not do anything wrong. i never paid a fine, never did probation, never even went to court - so hopefully that says something.

i always say honesty is the best policy. i have emailed the BON, and i will be calling them on Monday. i also will be having a meeting with the DON of my nursing program at school - not that i even have to tell them, but i want to because i really never thought about it before. i honestly didn't know that kind of stuff was on there and i really haven't thought (nor have i wanted to) about that in 10 years. i was very hurt by the situation and kind of just locked it away.

i have nothing to hide at all, i just really didn't know that that was on there. i am not a criminal and i have no idea what happens in the law system because i don't do anything wrong to have to worry about it. i just feel really stupid that i have this on my record. i feel like i have been lying to everyone because i really truly didn't know. as far as i knew, since it was dismissed before it even went to court that i would not have a record. my lawyer at the time told me that it wouldn't be on my record, and it hasn't until now. just crazy. 10 years ago i left the state of Georgia, left the boyfriend and never looked back and for good reason. that was the most traumatic part of my life and i didn't want to ever think about it again. i did not nor have i ever done drugs and this makes me feel like i have to explain a whole lot for something that i never was.

i have already posted this, but i think i posted in the wrong area. hello everyone! i am about 5 weeks from graduation from an adn program in pa. we had to get our fbi background checks in this month and i just got mine back in the mail. little to my surprise - i have a criminal history! great! i do not have any convictions, but there are charges on my record - drug charges to be exact. i do not do drugs, i don't even drink - but when in 2003 when i was aobut 22 years old, my boyfriend that i lived with was making a drug called ghb (the date rape drug) at his store that he owned. i did not know that any of this was going on. one day while getting out of the shower the police came to my house, made me sit in a chair with just a towel on and told me to tell them where everything was at and what was going on. needless to say i was completely traumatized. the person i thought i knew was not at all. anyway, even though they didn't find anything other than his "internet orders" at our house, i was arrested. i was released that evening and then later all charges were dropped. i did not even have to get a lawyer. i did not receive any fines, no probation, nothing. obviously i never talked to the boyfriend again, and while he was in jail got all my stuff from his house and never saw him again. i really didn't think that this would be in my record. it has never come up before, and to be completely honest, i haven't thought about it. it was something that i never wanted to remember because of how traumatized i was over it. i didn't realize that even though i was never convicted of anything or never did probation, i would still have this on my record. again, this was almost 10 years ago. i have never even gotten a speeding ticket in my life, and when i opened that up today, my heart sank just a little. will this affect my future license? will i be denied employment? i have worked so hard in nursing school and i graduate in 5 weeks and this........i am at a loss for workds and i feel like i want to throw up. any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

i had this posted in a different area so i am reposting here since i may get more help in this area. again, any advice i greatly appreciated.

my background check says "record exists but no conviction(s) is shown. this does not prohibit hire in a childcare position according to the Child Protective Services Law. which means that i am not disqualified (there is an option that says disqualified). but the fact that it is on there for the whole world to see makes me sick to my stomach. like i said, i don't even drink let alone do drugs, and now i have to basically plead my case for something that i never did. it just makes me so angry. i am going to call BON on Monday, as well as the courthouse that this came from to see what i can have done. like i said - it was dropped completely, no fines, no convictions, no plea, no probation - nothing at all. i didn't even have to go to court about it (other than the day i was arrested and the judge let me out). that was sooooo long ago and since nothing ever came of it, i just didn't think about it again. i applied to school, i get financial aid, did all my clearances, and it never came up and i didn't expect it to since nothing happened. but i got my fingerprints done and boom - there it was and now i feel like all my hard work is going to go down the crapper for something that i didn't nor would ever do.
