To whom It may concern,
I was hoping you could help answer a question. I am currently starting the fall prerequisite classes at the local community college.After this year of prerequisite classes I will then go on to do the two year nursing program. At graduation, I should then be prepared to take the NCLEX certification exam. I do have a problem however and I was hoping that you could help me understand the situation I am facing.
In april of last year 2002, I plead guilty to and was convicted of two charges, misdermeanor assault and misdermeanor menacing. In the winter of 2001was convicted of false imprisonment. Also a misdermeanor charge.
I am fully aware at how it will look on an employment application. To go through three years of schooling for a career that will offer no future is without question a very foolish path to take. My plans are to be employed as a travel nurse and get paid well for the oppurtunity to see new places. I have looked over quite a few on line employment applications, both for travel nursing agencies as well as those for actual hospitals. Many if not all of them have questions that pertain to the applicants legal record. More specifically, they all have questions that read something like this: “Have you ever been convicted of a crime other than a misdermeanor traffic offense.” One could imagine how it would look when I put down my three convictions. I am really not as bad as the record would have me look! I started school while having the idea that I would join a travel nurse agency that only asked about felony charges but the more I think about it, It would seem that once I get to the actual hospital I am assinged to, I will have to fill out thier actual application.....
I have gotten different answers from different people on this subject. your opinion and direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again, My name is nathan,
