    wanna_be replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

  16. Criminal History

    wanna_be replied to Jroberts78's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    All I can say is be honest. There are situations in which the past is the past, but applying to school, your license, and ultimately employment are not the place for that. I had a few very minor...
