transHello,
I am a nursing student and some of the hospitals where we do our practicum require us to undergo a criminal background check before we can work there. I understand that it is common practice for hospitals to do background checks on any new hires as well. On the form we have to fill out, it asks for any previous names we may have used. I didn't put my old name down and I'm hoping it won't come up when they run the check. Will they be able to find out that I am TS through my name or through any other way? I don't think they would kick me out of school for this, but I'm just very scared because I don't want anyone to know. I'm also worried that I might have trouble getting a job after graduation if employers could really find out this easily. And even if I do get a job, I know I'd be paranoid all the time wondering whether my supervisor knows about me or not. I'm hoping someone here can tell me something that will calm my nerves. But if this is really going to come back to haunt me later on in life, I'd prefer to know as soon as possible so I can get out of this field and into something safer before I invest any more time into it.
