Lovely1206, Thank you for your response. When I went downtown to get my background check for school, it came back with all three misdemeanors listed, however because my lawyer had them combined when I went to court, only 1 date appears. So I only know one of the dates. The answer to your second question is- I don't know. When this happened, I was put on probation, fined and given several hours of community service...all of which I completed. I feel like I completed my requirements and the case was complete. I don't know what the disposition is technically called. This is where I need help. I don't even begin to know how to go about getting all of the documentation I need.

I am in the process of filling out the application with the State to take the NCLEX and apply for my license. In 2001, when I was 19, I was ticketed for a Minor Consumption and later arrested for a DUI and another minor consumption b/c I was underage while driving under the influence. I got a lawyer, paid my dues and everything was taken care of. The application is asking that I have a sworn affidavit with all related details, dates and locations for my arrests. First of all, what is a sworn affidavit? Do I need a lawyer for this? Where do I get a sworn affidavit? Also, I am not sure of the exact dates as this happened so long ago. I have a copy of my background check that I used to enroll in the Nursing Program I took, but my lawyer at the time somehow combined my charges into 1 so that I would not have to pay as many fines and it would look better on my record so it doesn't have the exact dates of both the arrests. I guess I am just looking for any assistance or advice possible. Should I get a lawyer to get the exact dates, before submitting my application? Should I expect trouble getting my license in IN due to my past criminal history? This is so disheartening because I am a different person now and have not been in trouble since. Thank you in advance for any help!
