I got drug possession charges because someone in my car had stuff on them, and it is looking like I'm going to be stuck with the charges regardless of who claims it. I've still not gotten a job as a nurse, in fact, I planned on going back to get my B...

From what I have learned, they all want to know about ANYTHING, dropped or expunged, or plead out, etc. I think it is very sad, because if they courts find that you are good enough to have it dropped or erased, you should not be judged for it again! ...

It was plead down from DUI (thankfully, but unfortunate to be accused of DUI) and actually had to go to jail for 48hrs (of hell I might add), all because my friend woke me up 5 hours after drinking to take them home. I didn't think about possibly sti...

The MSN program (at least a good one your not just flying through) is definitely around a year longer (2 semesters I mean, depending on how they do it... terms/quarters/etc.), and the difference, to my understanding, is if you are going for your MSN,...

For anyone in this situation that runs across this, I wanted to let you know that the DUI arrest DID show up on my background check, even though I've not been past arraignment yet. She said nothing about the shoplifting charge on my BG, but i'm unsur...

Thanks for your responses! I know I messed up big time, but it frustrates me that neither were worthy of being charged because they were simply misunderstandings. I do take responsibilty, but they really went overboard! To answer your questions- Whe...
I finally got the job offer! I stupidly thought that they had done the background check and accepted it. Of course, I find out that they haven't run it yet, and after talking to the recruiter, I'm not as positive about it as I was. Problem is, orient...
