Hi guys.. I am a pre-nursing student in California who is confused about whether or not I should continue pursuing nursing due to my criminal background. I got a DUI from 2003 and I was also arrested for battery in 2007 even though the case was dismissed. Last year I got a red light ticket that cost me five hundred bucks. I have been working as a CNA at the same LTC for ten years. The state people did an investigation after the physical assault situation and I was not suspended or given any disciplinary action. I reported my DUI and sent my completion certificate while renewing my license in 2004 and I have renewed it twice since then. So is it a good idea to keep on even though at the end of the day it's all on the BON to make the last call.
