48. State licensing boards are tougher than nursing schools

Nursing schools will ask about your background and will do a background check and a case-by-case decision based on type of offense, how much time has passed since offense and what type of restitution. State boards of nursing will be thorough and more unforgiving. A military buddy of mine who was a 91 C (LVN) was accepted to RN school and graduated on the president's honor roll, but was denied to take the NCLEX-RN exam for licensure. He'd committed shoplifting, vandalism and D/D as a teen that the military overlooked, but the Texas State Board of Nursing wasn't going to. But, other states were willing to let him to sit for the exam, so he was given an assignment at another military hospital in another state. A civilian nurse would have gone through all that for nothing. Having said that, in such a high profile case involving a mass shooting stemming from a hate crime, this woman, with her "strong association with the white supremacist movement" will probably, hopefully, not be allowed to remain in nursing school.
