Hi
I'm not looking for legal advice, just some opinions. I've been reading this particular subject for a lil over a year now and have spoken to many and done much research concerning the BON judging each case, on a case by case basis.
My question is this... Do you think that it's fair for the BON to look at each case seperately, but an applicant can be turned down for Nursing School because of an inability to complete clinicals? How can an applicant even get to the licensure application process if the nursing school won't admit you because of a past criminal history?
What would be a possible solution to that particular situation? Should a Nursing student be able to submit a research paper in leiu of a particular clinical if they can demonstrate proper skills in the school nursing lab?
Just some thoughts to mull over. Not trying to start a morals issue/thread. Just would like to explore possible solutions.
Thanks
