   s.d.RN replied to kamnurse2012's topic in Criminal

   I'm assuming you mean in Indiana? I am a nurse here now and when applying for my licensure, we had multiple meetings and all said that you should disclose anything that may appear with your name (should you be "googled.") If the board feels that you ...
