Will my underage alcohol possession charge from 12 years ago prevent me from going to nursing school?

Your question is a bit misleading. YOU were drinking underage, but you were still an adult. This means that it absolutely stays on your record unless your state has some law about wiping old offenses after you've completed your community service or whatever. You may want to start touching base with some attorneys who can work on getting this old conviction/ticket removed from your record. Edit: <Rolls Eyes> Fine, you weren't drinking. You have a ticket/conviction/charge for possession regardless. Yes, old convictions, especially those involving alcohol, drugs, or violence, can affect nursing school, licensing, and employment. That's why you need to speak with an attorney about getting it cleared from your record. Instead of focusing on my saying the work "drinking", you should have been focusing on how to rectify the situation so it doesn't cause future problems. A nurse throws away unimportant information and focuses on the relevant, not making excuses. Patient: Nurse, my meds were due 4 minutes ago. I had a difficult time pushing the call button because my left arm is weak. Nurse: Your left arm is weak? Let me get the doctor here. (notices the patient is cyanotic and slurring) You: It's only 10:02, not 10:04. You incorrectly assumed that your meds have to be given to the minute. Your watch is fast and we had an emergency in another room. (patient dies of massive heart attack)

i think they will , but they will probably do a test to check if you still drink alcohol. I know its not he best answer but just giving you some advice. Good luck.

From that long ago, you'd hope it wouldn't be an issue - but it depends on their criteria. Speak to your advisor to see what they think. (Doesn't stuff from over 6 years ago get removed?)
