Hello.  I got pulled over for a taillight being out, and didn't realize my license was suspended. I was driving out of my home state. 

 

I was wondering if one driving while license suspended would keep me from getting a job in a hospital?  

I just got accepted into nursing school.

    I imagine it would depend largely in the reason for the suspension. It might also affect your admission to a nursing program. 
    Best get this sorted out immediately.

    Well I already had a background check for the nursing program and nothing was found. It was clean. 

     

    The suspension was for 2 unpaid tickets.

    Parking tickets? 10mph over the limit? Ignoring repeated notices for a year? What? Oh, just pay your dang tickets and get your license back, and likely all will be well.

    The real background check comes after school when you're attempting to become licensed as a nurse. Don't screw around. Clean things up as much as possible now.

    It is kind of a long story. I had these two tickets I couldn't pay them. I was actually looking for a job, and also didn't know I had a tail light out. I got pulled over and my license was suspended. I was in a different state trying to find a job, because I couldn't find one in my city I was in. 

     

    I had my kids with me. My ex husband took me to court to prevent me from moving out of state with my kids.  So my kids and I had to go back to the city I was from. I paid the tickets off with in b two-three weeks of getting pulled over. 

     

    But I wasnt able to go back for the court for getting pulled over over.  Then covid happened, I couldn't go still. They allowed me to do court by zoom, which I have been. But now they won't dismiss it. Even though I paid the tickets, my license is valid now. I even have receipts. I have proof. They won't dismiss it. They want me to plead guilty, pay fines, then that will be on my record. 

     

    I was wondering if that would prevent me from working in a hospital.

    You need a lawyer. Call your nearest law school and ask if they have any pro bono help available. Do not let this slide.
