Where am I going to work?

I am graduating in 3 weeks. My NCLEX-PN app is being sent in this week. Problem: I have a canviction for forgery and theft (it really was a bad check) in Union county, 15 years ago. My instructor says I will be able to take NCLEX, but where am I going to work.

I can't work in a NH, that seems to be the only jobs around where I live. I've been feeling like I have wasted my time over this last year.

I'm planning in getting it expunged. I'm waiting on paperwork from my lawyer. It has taken since Feb. to get the paperwork filled out.
