Arrest record, cases dismissed

Published

I'm an LPN with 2 assault arrests, both cases dismissed. Is anyone in the same boat? I have been a nurse for 20 years but am finding it increasingly difficult to find a job. It seems quite unfair to me that I am being discriminated against.

What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? In Massachusetts I can have these records sealed EXCEPT if I apply for a job working with children, the disabled or the elderly...um that's what I do!

I want to start an advocacy group to fight this as it is discriminatory, unfair. We are the only group that this applies to.

Maybe I'm confused but if you weren't charged then why are they able to know you were arressed?

some states ask if you were arrested, not only convicted...
