Is a BSN or MSN required to land a good hospital job?

I have decided to seek legal guidance on the matter. My nightmare would be the nursing school giving me the shaft unlawfully due to the pure competitive nature of nursing.

I just got accepted into nursing school at my local Community College and while reading the student handbook I noticed that a background check will be needed. I am assuming this is for the clinical rotations at whatever healthcare setting I will be placed. I do have 3 misdemeanors. One from 2011, 2013, and 2013. They are non-violent, not associated with drugs, non-sexual, and non-theft related. Essentially the first was a DUI conviction when I was 18 and the other two are from driving on a suspended license. Does anyone have any insight on how Community Colleges handle students with these type of convictions?

Did you get an acceptance?

Thank you everyone for the wonderful advice. It was made official this week that I have been accepted into nursing school. So now the true work begins. I purchased a pharm textbook and began over viewing the material. My goal is to be as prepared as possible heading into this spring semester.

I got my acceptance letter yesterday in the evening. I will be accepting the spot.

you are correct, mine said "response is required" and I got in.

I had 79 from All A's in my prerequisites. All of my GE's completed. 4 years Medical Experience. 5 life experiences.

Of course. I called my Dad and its waiting for me when I get off work! Wish me luck! Ill post my news as soon as I can.

There is still hope! I have 79 points.

geez! that is a really fast mailing! What cities do you live in? I'm in Long Beach, so I wonder if it will be home when I check the mail.

They are releasing decisions in the middle of the week. I called the nursing dept last week to ask if they expect any delays. They said "no".

what did your stats look like for CSULB? Were you already enrolled as a student at the University?

Does anyone know how many seats are available?

The only problem is that expungement does not remove it from the DOJ/FBI records. Thus, when becoming licensed it will ALWAYS show up. I know for employment purposes they only go back 7 years in California, so I think I should be okay in that regard by 2018.
