Need some help!

Hello fine people of the healthcare world.
 

I need some help with an issue that is coming back to haunt me.  back In 2015 when I was a fresh nurse right out of college, I got the opportunity to work in the ICU. Turns out I shouldn’t have been working there right out of school. I was tried by the vermont board of nursing for diversion, it’s a long story and it ultimately got dismissed because I didn’t divert at all I was just a new nurse who wasn’t the best at medications... I’ve since corrected my mistakes and ha e learned from it. 

here’s my issue, I just applied for a new nursing job on the floor and I was asked about my case back in 2015. I told them everything that had happened and that it was dismissed. This was the first time after many new jobs I was asked about this because it showed on my record as being a dismissed case. I would of thought that it wouldn’t have stayed on my record because I didn’t actually divert and it had gotten dismissed. But now I feel like I got a target on my back because of it by just the words divert appearing next to my name even though I wasn’t charged of it... is there anyway I can have a lawyer or anything I can do to permanently take this off my record? 
 

thank you!

Call your Board of Nursing for your state. 

Do you have any updates on how things are going for you? Sorry I don't have any advice. Currently going through the same thing, seems likely I might get probation. Even though I didn't divert. After reading all other posts I'm wondering how you got yours dismissed? I have a lawyer and even then it seems difficult.
