Misdemeanor for assault???

[Angelfire3]

Greetings All,

I was involved in an incident tonight where a woman flagged me down and started cursing me out. So, I got out my car and we were in each others face. Well, she pressed charges on me for "touching" her chest. I'm like "we both have breast" it's hard not to touch. So, I have to go to court now and worse case scenario, I'll be charged w/assault and battery, which is a misdemeanor.

My question is, would that hinder me from getting a job as a nurse if I am convicted?

Hello! I know its been years since you last posted but what was the end result of this? I am going through something similar.

The OP hasn't been back since then, so not likely that you will get an answer to this question.

I myself had an simple assault in 2007 before I became licensed in 2008, I explained to BON and have had no problems since then. The charge is only charge and I have a prayer for judgement for it.

I have been going through the courts with a recent incident that happened with my ex boyfriend. Long story short they are dropping my charges down to a third degree misdemeanor negligent assault. I have been a licensed nurse for 3 years. When I report this to the board will they discipline me for this? Has anyone had a crazy experience like this?
