I live in NYS. My charge was from 2004. The case was closed in February 2006. I received my LPN in 2011. My charge was Grand theft. I was not convicted because I received a withhold of adjudication without a conviction if I served my time which was probation and restitution. I had to have 2 or 3 references and I had to write a letter to the Board of Nursing explaining what happened and how I had changed/corrected my mistake. It does depend on the type of charge and how long since the charge. Give your nursing board a call and see what their process is. It cannot hurt to get a feel for their process. Also, I had no trouble with the facilities that I did my clinicals with. Good luck. We all make mistakes in life. Some bigger than others. It does not define who we are as long as we've changed. It's a shame that some people judge so harshly. Best wishes.
