I was 22 when I got my 1st charge, deadly conduct in 2005. I was going thru a nasty divorce & my ex-husband said I tried to run him over w/my car, not at all true but I did not have money for legal counsel so I plead out, deferred adjudication. Never got into trouble again until 2010 when my now-husband was in prison & a gang member was threatening to hurt him unless he had someone bring marajuana into the prison for him. Well, I was the gullible sucker that agreed to do it. Turns out the gang member was trying to get his sentence reduced & only way to do that was to turn other inmates in that were doing something they shouldn't have been. My big heart got me a felony(only because the prison was a federal institution), Attempting to Provide A Prohibited Object to an Inmate. I received 3 years probation because I had little to no criminal history. Finished that a year ago, which brings us to now. I have gathered all the certified court records & letters of recommendation, & I am sending it all in hoping to get permission to take the NCLEX. I have only taken all my college pre-reqs because I do not want to waste my time or money on classes that will not lead me anywhere. So the declaratory order will determine my next step. What do you think?

Thanks for your concern. All these unanswered questions are driving me crazy!

I'm in Texas, going through the same battle! I would like to hear from some people that have a criminal background & have successfully conquered the eligibility process. Tell us the extent of your charges & outcome of it all. Please give us some hope!
