Madthought

Hello, I'm in pre-nursing at an university in Texas. Medically separated from the army for an injury I received in Afghanistan after 18 years of service. I have 100 hours of college credits in the psychology, but decided to pursue a career in nursing. I have a question for the community. I have a criminal background of domestic violence charges and convictions. I had a total of 17 charges but was convicted of violating no contact order twice (Washington). I should never been charged or worse, convicted as I did not do violate a no contact order. These charges came from my daughter's mom who wrote letters to the courts admitting she lied later on. Well the courts still refuse to eliminate those charges. I hired an attorney to help but it seems I will have to complete a DO for BON explaining the situation (which is a case of silly drama). I should have resolve the matter in 2010 but I was desperate to get to Germany and away from my child's mother which I lived for the next 4 years. Now it's all haunting me and I don't want to lose my chance into something I desire to do. My question is how likely would I be able to obtain nursing license? I already contacted BON and which they stated case by case but Murder, Kidnap, and Rape is automatic disapproval. I want to get attached and be tired from long hours of work helping people attempting to make them smile. I want to stand to stand on my feet all day and provide care. What do I need to do from your experience or others you experienced?
