Ok well first I'd like to thank you for reading this. Any feedback from someone who has experienced this is helpful. Or from anyone in this profession. I started a nursing program and had to get out temporarily to have my baby but when I tried to return they prompted me to get cleared through BON first.. Bummer but I did what they asked. It took 7 months!! Anyway, after getting cleared to take NCLEX of course after finishing my program I got arrested for aggregated assault with a deadly weapon... My bf and I were fighting and he kicked me and Mt baby out of room to go to couch I then popped the inflatable mattress. He was humiliated and the story goes on but he lied to the police which got me this charge. I am now facing felony charges but do have an attorney. He's 22 i'm 26 & he apologized for this but i'm more concerned about my future in this career. Can I continue with nursing program and take nclex since I was approved before this incident?? I know some of you poetically will think I am not fit for this because of the charge which is why I am asking you all for the advice. I'm hoping there won't be judgment passed since you all don't know me personally but can I even Get licensed? I'm already cleared with BON.
