Ok thank you. I guess I will have to appeal if they deny me. I thought schools made sure their students were clear of backgrounds before even accepting them!!! So they dont have to worry about clinicals later on. I mean when I applied to be a volunteer at that agency a couple years ago, they sent me a copy of the bg report and why they denied me... and I didn't see anything that the charge was brought down to be a misdemeanor. Do you think that is why they denied me? Not sure why it wasn't showing up. It just says felony charge.

I mean since it is a misdemeanor I don't think they should deny me for that? I can't switch clinical sites, as we are required to do a rotation at that agency (they have about 6 hospitals throughout the valley)

I am a nursing student. I passed the fingerprint clearance card by Department of Public Safety and the background check for the school with a felony charge convicted to a misdemeanor. I have a clinical site next semester that is requiring a background check. Do you think they are going to deny me?? I applied to be a volunteer there a couple years ago and they denied me based on my background. I don't think they saw that it was convicted as a misdemeanor. Please help! Do you think I can dispute it if they deny me?
