Got arrested/detained for Solicitation of Prost.

Published

Hello, I am currently half way done with my RN-Nursing program in California. Not too long ago I was caught in an undercover prost. sting operation. I was given something called neighborhood court in which I complete first offender program and their volunteer hour directive then my case would get discharged (not filed at all). Which would leave me with, only a "detention only" record in my DOJ record "rap sheet" is I guess what they call it. I did not go to court at all because I went to neighborhood court, which is not really a court at all under the criminal justice system.

I have some questions...

1. How hard is it for someone to get a job in a hospital as an RN with no conviction of a crime, just an arrest/detention record? Will employers see this? I know they are not supposed ask me about "arrests or detentions that did not lead to a conviction" but will they see it? Or are they just not allowed to ask me about even if they see it.

2. Can I receive my BSN? What is the process? Remember, I was not convicted or did not enter any plea. I took a pretrial diversion class and case was discharged (meaning: case was not filed by the prosecutor at all)

Thank you.
