I'm so very sorry about your Mom.. That really was a tragedy.. How awful for you and your family..I'm not sure if these people would be able to attend school. Is it New York?.. How did she pass her boards?..As far as the CP goes, yes, people are admitted with disabilities, but they also receive special instruments to assist them with their nursing duties. And as far as a prison record, you have to be an upstanding citizen upon entering school. Having been on a board of admissions, I know she  would of been voted out.. Again, thank you for your comments and participating in the forum.. Teresa

Hi   Trust me.The Nurse never told Nursing School she was in prison. I guess no backgound check was done.so she got in.
