Background Checks

A Background Check typically includes Social Security Number, Citizenship Status, criminal, commercial, and financial records and range from minimal sensitivity (such as employment for a minimum wage job) to high (such as a job related to the FBI or National Security). It may include property and driving records, drug testing, evaluations for Medical, Mental, and Physiological examinations, polygraphs and arrests/ imprisonment. Typically, a person cannot refuse a Background Check unless you wish to forfeit what you desire, e.g. that housing, that employment. Reasons for BCs include to verify personal information, personal honesty and integrity, exclude drug users, and general risk management.

In New Jersey, DUI is not a criminal offense; it is a traffic violation. Therefore, it will not show up in a criminal background search ever and you can honestly state on any application that you have not committed any crimes, felonies or misdemeanors (assuming that the DUI and any other traffic violation or ticket are the only items in your background).
The only way it will come up is if your employer looks at your driving record (usually only if driving is a critical part of the job) or if the employment application specifically asks if you have had any traffic violations. Other than that, your employer will not find out and will not be required to say anything unless there is something in particular on the application or employment agreement.

Does a local ordinance violation show up on a background check?
I did check with my attorney and he said local law ordinance violations do not show on background check.
--
This is generally true. Ordinance violations are generally held in municipal courts which are virtually impossible to search in most cases because there are so many of them and they do not put records online or in any valuable database. That being said, it depends on the type of background check that is being done. The reporting laws in the state in question come into play. Also how the state houses ordinance violations is a key factor.
At the end of the day, you will most likely never see a ordinance violation show up on a background check, but also, never say never.

What criminal background checks disqualify a nurse?
It's not the check that disqualifies, but the underlying action. For example; if patients mysteriously died while in your care, that is not the fault of the background check.
I would say that that which would disqualify a nurse is the same as would disqualify anyone except that nurses have the opportunity to do more harm than say, a burger flipper.
If I were hiring a nurse, I would be very concerned about drug use and abuse.
Actually, most local laws forbid convicted felons from registering to be a nurse. You can complete the schooling. But not work in health care. However, laws vary from state to state, county to county, and town to town.
