    onehope67 posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    onehope67 posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    onehope67 replied to onehope67's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  6. Does the Pearson trick work for us with criminal records??? HELP!

    onehope67 replied to onehope67's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  7. Nursing school with a misdemeanor

    onehope67 replied to gamecockgirl2014's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    In MI, I have two theft convictions and was able to get into a program and do clinical with no questions asked. The hard part comes for licensure and sitting for the NCLEX but you won't ever get there...

  8. RN program

    onehope67 replied to Cha_rn2B's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I agree with the other posters. Getting into a program is the easy part. Many schools are happy to take your money as long as you meet the requirements and time frames for the convictions. If your...

  9. Any current nursing student with a petty theft?

    onehope67 replied to Mattie45's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Well I have good news and bad news. Bad news first-- in many states there is a time limit you must pass after convictions before gaining access to a clinical environment. In MI, 5 years must have...

  10. Clinical Site Background Check

    onehope67 replied to JoeW's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I truly wish you the best and hope you will be allowed entry for clinical. In no way do I want to discourage you but I had a juvenile misdemeanor conviction that showed up on my background check even...

  11. Praying for a second chance

    onehope67 replied to lovelyFay3's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I know how hard this is knowing that your fate truly lies within the hands of the board. You have to keep pushing forward. The best advice I was ever given in a similar condition is: you will never...

    onehope67 posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This may be the wrong place to ask this, I just don't know where the better place would be. I have 9 months left of nursing school and am anticipating problems obtaining licensure due to 2 theft...

  14. chances of being approved by the board???

    onehope67 replied to vpt9013's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Don't lose hope! As long as you send in the appropriate documentation I would think the state would give your application a chance. Beef up the statements and documentation and give them the best...

  15. Becoming a nurse with a criminal record

    onehope67 replied to Daisyg124's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Well this depends. When you mention the application, you said facility so Im guessing you applied for employment? If you are in a CNA program and have to apply for licensure you will most likely need...

  16. Pursuing Nursing with Petty Theft Hx

    onehope67 replied to lisa134x's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This gives me so much hope and THANK YOU for sharing your success story. I am in the same boat and feel so ashamed of my past and I'm at the point where only a couple people in this world know about...

  17. Unsure of the official charge

    onehope67 replied to Fred35's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It is very important that when you submit your application that everything is correct. If you put down jaywalking or another guess and the board finds something different (believe me, the board WILL...

  18. Theft & lies, can I get a license still?

    onehope67 posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hello all, I am in MI and to make a very long story short, here we go. I have a 3rd degree retail fraud conviction (2003) and a larceny under $200 (2008). Both are misdemeanors and both are expunged....

  19. RN-Nclex

    onehope67 replied to OSUFan1's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I cannot imagine the state would deny you after already giving you your LPN license. Try not to worry! I know that is easier said than done, right? Let us know how it goes, and best of luck to you on...

  20. TX pre-nursing student needs advice...public lewdness charge from former career as stri

    onehope67 replied to Charlotte-'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Are you able to get both of them expunged? To me that would be your best bet, but second would be to get one expunged and then get a declaratory order on the second. Regardless of what you do, the BON...

  21. Does the BON have access to all court documents?

    onehope67 posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hi all, When I was younger I got myself into a sticky situation and am now paying for it. In high school I landed a co-op job at my local hospital and I stole a co-worker's jeans from the employee...

  22. Can I get a RN license with 2 misdemeanors?

    onehope67 posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I have two misdemeanors: juvenile retail fraud (2003) and larceny under $200 (2008). Both have been expunged but I still am required to report these to Michigan BON. I am so worried about graduating...

  23. State Board Background Checks

    onehope67 replied to michelledandersen's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Report it regardless because the BON will find it. Typically states use a nation background check service so even though you were charged in another state it will show up on the background check. Best...

  24. Nursing license with past DUI

    onehope67 replied to Megs1689's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I do not see it hindering your chance at licensure given you can beef up your resume and show what an upstanding person you are. Community service looks great here and of course the more time since...

  25. whats the difference between offense and conviction? im confused

    onehope67 replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    An offense is the actual crime you committed or were charged with committing. It is not the same as a conviction, however the arrest will show up on a background check even though you were not...
