I know that no one can tell me a definite answer because the BON looks at each case individually, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me some of their experiences. I got arrested when I was 17 for a misdemeanor charge of shoplifting (I know, very stupid), anyway, I just had to pay a fine. I live in Georgia and you are considered an adult at the age of 17 in GA, so this is still on my record now. I am currently in school to become an LPN, but I hope to continue school after this to become an RN. I was wondering if this misdemeanor charge would fall under moral turptitude or something. I am worried that after all of this hard work, I will not be able to obtain my license. Can anyone tell me anything that you know about it??? Thank you all in advance!!
