This is the rule in IL - check with your state. It might not even matter...
d) The following criminal history records shall not be considered in connection with an application for licensure:
1) Juvenile adjudications;
2) Records of arrest not followed by a conviction;
3) Convictions overturned by a higher court;
4) Convictions that have been the subject of a pardon or expungement.

I am looking for some advice on expunging an arrest from my record. I am a current nursing school student with 2 years of school left. I have an arrest on my record from 2013 in which all charges were dropped. With a lawyer I can work to have this arrest expunged. I understand I will still need to disclose this information to the BON once I have completed school, however I am wondering if getting it expunged will help my case come time to apply for licensure?
Thanks for any imput,
Katie
