Temoc123 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hello all, I was wondering what exactly the NCCPA wants to know about a criminal record? I was never convicted and I had my record expunged a few years ago, but I was wondering if the NCCPA specifically asks anything about an expunged record or dropped charges when signing up to take the PANCE? Having a lot of anxiety about this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicinePower Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Ask a lawyer about how to answer and what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temoc123 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 @ MrEven, my lawyer said I have to say yes if NCCPA specifically asks about expungement, so my question is to those who have already signed up to take the PANCE; does that application specifically ask about having a record expunged? I knew a mistake 6 years ago would come and bite me in the rear end. I wish it would all just go away. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubenstein Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have met with an attorney regarding this issue however in more general scope, I am pre-pa. He went through the step by step process with me and he specifically mentioned that when I sign up to take PANCE they are only concerned about what has happened between attending PA program and signing up for PANCE. In other words, if your PA program deemed you qualified to enter and complete rotations all the PANCE cares about is if you've gotten in trouble since being accepted to PA school. He didn't say if they ask about expungement or only about convictions but in either case you should be fine since they are only asking about since you've entered PA school.

loliz Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I would be more concerned with your state's licensing process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temoc123 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 My state licensing application specifically states "If you have formally expunged a criminal record you do not need to disclose that criminal history. " Was just curious if anyone remembers NCCPA asking about expunged records. I'll be eligible to sign up here within a few weeks and just wanted some peace of mind. I know they ask about convictions, just not sure if they specifically ask about expungements. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLaur122 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I'm also wondering the same. Years ago I had a charged (not convicted ) of DUI. The way it was asked on the NCCPA sign up , I had to answer "yes". I received an email asking for documentation on the incident; is sending the "record exists, no conviction " letter from the state sufficient ? Will this have a detrimental affect on my license in the long run ? I am really freaking out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
