Misdeamor from 7 years ago

Published

Hello, everyone! I was wondering how problematic a misdeamor charge from 7 years ago will be for me to get into nursing school? It was a theft charge from when I was 17. I'm about to finish up all of my pre-reqs with a 4.0, but I'm worried about my background. Thanks for any help!

I would consult with a lawyer: given that you were 17 at the time of the crime, you may have been considered a juvenile and so may be able to have your record sealed. The lawyer can investigate that possibility and if it's doable, try to make it happen.

Best of luck!

Did you ever submit a declaratory order to the nursing board. I recently had to send one and awaiting the results. Just had question if you had to go through the process?
