When you were 17 you and your friends thought it was a good idea to explore an abandoned house. Then you found out it wasn't.
I really don't think this speaks to your ability to practice safe nursing and I have trouble believing any Board of Nursing would care about this. I think you should be okay.
You can always check with an attorney who's familiar with Board of Nursing issues to be on the safe side.

Hello everyone! So I am currently finishing up my prerequisites to apply for my schools nursing program. 9 years ago, when I was 17 I got arrested for criminal trespassing. My friends and I decided to do some late night abandoned house exploration, and yeah the rest is history. Anyway, I got deferred adjudication and finished that with no problems. I have never been in trouble since (that scared me straight haha) but I am nervous about applying for school with my record. I have looked in to getting my record sealed or expunged, but It says (If I am correct) that these things will still show up on my background check. Does anyone have any advice? Will this affect my application/liscensure? Thank you.
