I attend a local state college in R.I. I have had minor scrapes with the law when I was younger. I have made many positive life changes and am considered to be of good moral character. I am a single father with a nine yr old daughter and work hard at my studies to become an R.N. I just recently was charged with disorderly conduct and hired a lawyer. I was charged with throwing a snowball at my daughters school bus and given six months unsupervised probation. I am two classes away from writing my acceptance letter to the nursing program. In R.I you have to have no probation within the past 5 years, do you think that the board will make exceptions? I can get many letters of recommendations from people in politics, religion and professors in education. Please lead me in the right direction. Thank you
