Long story short, in 2011 I was arrested three times for misdemeanour drug convictions in the state of California. Yes , I had a substance abuse problem but I received full 90 day treatment and I have been sober since. All three arrests occurred within three months. Basically , I hit rock bottom and had to get help as soon as possible. I left the state of California to go to treatment in Florida. I am from Texas , so when I completed treatment I went straight home to Texas. There was nothing left for me in California. Yes , I left the state with warrants but I feel that I did the right thing by getting treatment ASAP. I was young and dumb, but I got help and have been on a righteous path since. I have wanted to pursue nursing for so long, but I'm worried that these charges could hold me back. I am very serious about nursing and I'm ready to peruse my dream but I have this burden hanging over my head. I can't so anything about the warrants in California at the moment. I am working and saving and when the time comes , ill deal with it. I would like to start with the Lvn program. If anyone has any helpful information or advice , PLEASE share. I would greatly appreciate it! I am not sure who to turn to at this point regarding my situation.
