Nursing (Expunged Record)

Published

Trying to figure out if I need to find a new career path.but I don't wanna give up my life just started. So I'm 21 years old. Back in my senior year of high school 2014 I caught a Felony H charge.missappropriate use of I.d...I just had the record expunged.it was my only mess up. Since high school I've worked as a cna in nursing homes and hospitals and I've also became a certified dialysis technician..I want to pursue nursing but I'm being told I might get denied clinical placement.how is it I can work in a hospital but can be denied the act of trying to enhance my career and learn as a nurse in a hospital? Can I still become a registered nurse? This is my dream.

We can't give legal advice,

An attorney with experience in nursing board issues might be of help

Also being up front with your potential nursing school might be informative
