About 5 years ago, when I was 21, I was out clubbing on the Las Vegas Strip. When I was ready to go home, I decided to wait for my friends in the parking garage of the casino so they could drive me home (I was intoxicated). While waiting, I decided to go pee in the corner of the parking garage, but unfortunately, a police officer saw me and cited me for Lewd & Lascivious Conduct. I was not arrested or anything just cited. The charge was ultimately dismissed and I didn't have to go to court or pay a fine.
Fast forward to today, I am currently interested in pursuing a career in Nursing. However, I am worried I won't be able to get a Nevada State Nursing License or worse - not even get hired at a hospital because of this charge.
I saw a lawyer recently in regard to this charge. He said the citation was unreasonable since I was only peeing. I'm going to get the (dismissed) charge sealed.
So my question is, do I even stand a chance of becoming a licensed nurse in the state of Nevada? Would I even be considered for a job at a hospital? If the citation is sealed, would they (the hospital) still have access to the citation from a background check?
