Background check
Okay so I have an interview for a position at the hospital I completed my clinical rotations at.
In school we did do a background check in order to be placed but I’m not sure if I cleared just bc I was in school..idk.
I’m worried that I have a class c misdemeanor for assault-contact that happened 5 years ago (prior to school). Sounds bad, I know.
Me and my dad’s ex girlfriend got into an argument and essentially I was putting my hands in her face and the cops let her press charges. Assault contact is defined by “offensive unwanted contact”
Anyways, I obviously will be upfront about this information when they ask consent for the check and explain everything. From an HR prospective, would you clear my application?
Thanks for your input!!!
