I have a Question if you have a criminial backround (just a misdemeanor) can you still get your RN Licence??

If it Matters I will tell you want happened...I was just charge with a open contaniner because someone in my car had a open beer in the back. This was about 5 years ago. Will this effect me getting my Licence??

Thanks!

oOo ok thanks.... that had me sceared.

Questions we seem to be encountering more and more often have to do with the effects of a criminal history on nursing licensure:

* Is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a criminal history?

* Is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a DUI or other related charges?

* What happens if you are charged or convicted of a crime after licensure?

* Can I go to nursing school and/or be licensed if my record has been sealed or expunged?

These are questions that the members of http://www.allnurses.com cannot answer. The only reliable source of information is your State Board of Nursing.

I think YOUR fine with that charge give a lawyer $500 and get it expunged
