Can you be RN with arrest record?

My friend's girlfriend has been arrested for shoplifting (:rolleyes: i know...) and she was going to become a RN. Anyway, her case was dismissed and charges were dropped, no conviction whatsoever.

But arrest record still remains.

Will she be able to apply for RN board and become RN eventually?

Any outcome is appreciated, poor thing is feeling down these days.

thanks

The California BON reviews each case on its own merit and makes the final decision. I suggest that she get into contact with them.

Same as with each and every state. None of us can make any suggestions other than to contact the BON directly.

No conviction=no problem. The application for RN license only asks about convictions not arrests.

You should check if she has a record of any kind. If she does not have a criminal record then there is nothing there. To get criminal records, you have to contact the FBI and the California Department of Justice. She has to send them their finger prints. The FBI and the California Department of Justice check records for people all the time. She should contact them.

In any case, that is where the California State Board of Nursing get their information from, the FBI and the California Department of Justice.
