So I just graduated and got a job offer in an ICU. They seemed to really like me in the interview, i dressed up super nice and did my hair and makeup well. I was polite, asked questions and it seemed like they wanted to hire me during the interview. they were really laid back and chill too, no interview-ish type questions that are so difficult to answer “correctly” (ie what’s your biggest weakness). I got a job offer and i was ecstatic. I just did my background check and i’m so nervous because the company asked me to self report any misdemeanor convictions outside of traffic violations and i do have two that happened on the same day (minor in possession of beer and fake id). These happened almost 6 years ago and i was in college and young. It was only a misdemeanor citation from ABC. I was buying beer with a fake id. My nerves are so bad because i’m afraid of having my offer rescinded because I self reported to the company doing the background check (i think? maybe the hospital i’m not sure) while filling out the information. I really want this job so badly, and I know alcohol type charges aren’t great, and anything can happen. I am just wondering if anyone had similar charges and were fine from a hospital HR perspective? I feel like it’s obvious I was buying beer with the fake from the citations being the same day. I don’t know I am just worried and I’m wondering if I should be as worried as I am for self reporting. Everyone says not to do it, but i figured at least i’m being honest upfront(sometimes that doesn’t matter tho from a hiring perspective i know). Any advice? Any reassurance? Did i completely screw myself over for no reason? I still haven’t taken my NCLEX but i’m afraid if this doesn’t work I won’t find another job and i’ll be defeated.
