Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.

I'm in New York City. I spoke to the BON and they confirmed that I will be able to sit for the exam. I must list my criminal history and they judge it on a case by case scenario. They explained they are very fair with misdemeanors and the outcome should be good. It will take a little longer because they'll have to review my history before making a final decision. Thanks for all the feedback.

Thanks guys for the feedback. There are students with prior misdemeanors in the program. I know felonies are a no no. I'll keep you updated. I'll find out if I got accepted or not

Hey. I'm 38 years old and applying for the nursing program at my local college. I have a great chance of getting in based on my grades. I do have misdemeanors on my record. None of them are violent and most of them are sealed. They were over 10+ years ago. One is a possession of a controlled substance though. I completed a drug treatment inpatient program. Do you think this will disqualify me from this career. Many say don't worry because they're so old but I'm worried.
