This is something that can not be predicted as each case is dealt with by the state individually
Questions we seem to be encountering more and more often have to do with the effects of a criminal history on nursing licensure:
Is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a criminal history?
Is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a MIP, DUI, or other related charges?
What happens if you are charged or convicted of a crime after licensure?
Can I go to nursing school and/or be licensed if my record has been sealed or expunged?
Will I be able to go to nursing school with a criminal record?
What can happen if I receive a MIP/DUI/DWI or other charge while still in school?
These are questions that the members of allnurses.com cannot answer. The only reliable source of information is your State Board of Nursing.
Understood.
But there was no crime.
This was something that was done a long time ago, without law enforcement activity.
I mean, how many pre-nursing students have once in their life done drugs?
REALLY THIS IS MY QUESTION: Would by telling an individuals MD that in their past they used a drug; could this information be made public so the potential nurse couldn't go to school and get a license?

Hi there, in my past I used steroids (once) and was going to go to nursing school. i wanted to share this information with my doctor but I had no idea if this information could affect my _future_ as a nurse, ie not being allowed to be in nursing school or work as a nurse?
Anyone know?
