My nursing packet says I need a Level 1 clearance card from the police before applying, I also pulled this information to expand on it. This is in arizona. Difference between Level I and standard fingerprint clearance card In 2009, a new law went into effect that created two types of fingerprint clearance cards rather than just one type. Beginning on July 1, 2009, DPS began issuing Level I fingerprint clearance cards, in addition to the standard fingerprint clearance cards. There are more types of criminal charges that can cause a Level I card to be denied or suspended, so the Level I card is more restrictive and harder to get. Standard cards correspond, for the most part, with the fingerprint clearance card that existed prior to the legislative changes. Level I cards are required for the following professions or activities. (Also listed are the state agencies that regulate that profession or activity.) If your profession or activity is not listed below, then either a Level I card or a standard card will suffice. Adoption, Department of Economic Security (DES) Board of Fingerprinting members and employees Child care group home employees, Department of Health Services (DHS) Child care group home licensees, DHS Child care home providers, DES Child care employees, DHS Child care facility licensees, DHS Child Protective Services (CPS) employee, DES Day care home providers, DES DES contractors Developmental-home licensure, DES Division of Developmental Disabilities employees, DES Foster-home licensure, DES DES information-technology employees Non-CPS employees, DES In certain circumstances, individuals who hold fingerprint clearance cards that were issued prior to July 1, 2009, can use those fingerprint clearance cards in place of a Level I. Ill see what happens when they open up to the public again...im assuming either they will deny me right off the bat or ill get told after they process it. Either way ill repost my results when I can get it done. = = = = = I think I was reading it as Level 1, when it's actaully Level I as in the letter, maybe someone can clarify it's one or the other.

Thanks all for the information! To clarify somethings, I never did any jail time. I paid a 1000$ fine, did ABC for 16 hours and MADD for 8 hours so im gonna say it was a misdeamenor, it was not a felony I know that for sure. To reply to paramedic mike your right I did make a bad choice, but it does bother me how difficult things have become despite the fact that my friend is working to become an Physcians Assistant, smokes pot 3-4 times a day but some how never fails a drug test? They make a massive scene over anti-drug enforcement yet no one at the school can figure this out, not only that, they give him an award for attendance? The drug addict is being glorified, im sorry but this is just backwards. He said that his get out of jail free card consists of Altoids, Free and Clear eye drops, Axe and a change of cloths. I make the mistake of doing something i should'nt have and im cast into the fire but this guy is doing it intentionally and making a joke of it. His quote to me was "If your not good at being bad your only good for being caught." I mean really??? Anyways im going to go the police station and try see if I can get a Level 1 Clearance card. If I can't get that then i'll know where I stand. Sorry if I irritated anyone with my posts but thanks again

Hello all, Ill try make it short and to the point. Two years ago I was charged with reckless driving for drinking and driving. I had a tall glass of beer with my dinner and so I was never charged with full D.U.I since the alchol concentration was so low. Any how I've also had a speeding ticket for going 41 in a 35 from a cop in which I had to pay just under 100$ if I remember correctly which was back in 2008. I told this to a college advisor who said that even though I did all the nursing pre-reqs and more that it was a waste of my time to even do anything in nursing because they won't accept me. I then asked about the EMT and paramedic route and he said it was'nt an option. This guy has helped me understand alot of the programs and signed me up for all the pre-reqs for nursing which i did and passed with a 4.0. Now when I think about it, I paid almost 6,000$ for nothing and turned down my promotion into management at Walmart. Walmart of all places was going to pay me a good salary, but silly old me gave that up to try pursue what I wanted to do. Does anyone know here if I can salvage anything to do with the paramedic field or to just give up and go back to Walmart? If im ruined because of my bad luck ill accept what happend, happend but I was hoping someone maybe here could shed some light on any other options my college advisor did'nt think of. Maybe a loop hole or something for stupid people like me! Would appreciate any input thank you! On a edited side note, I mentioned paramedic field because they want me to become an EMT first obviously, but I think that's obvious but just being on the safe side.
