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.
