PreTrial Diversion

I was arrested 4 years ago for Battery. I completed the pretrial diversion program (No Prior Criminal History) and the charges were dropped and entered in as [CLOSED - NOLLE PROSEQUI. I currently have my LPN License which I had before the arrest and I've already face the board for my first renewal and received my License without restrictions after i submitted my diversion paperwork. (Second renewal went fine because i hadn't had anything new since the first renewal). I entered into a LPN- Bridge program for this fall and they are suggesting we submit another background check for the clinical site.

I'm so scared that my arrest is going to turn down the opportunity.

Will the board stop me from receiving my RN?

    Nolle Prosequi doesn't mean they dropped your charges; they decided to not prosecute you further. The latin term you describe is used in states that dismiss the cases which is not the same as dropping the charges. It leaves it as if charges were never brought.

    Was this with prejudice?

    You need to take steps to expunge this off your record. The actual charge may not show up on a background check, but court documents likely will (which will contain the charges). Search this site for Nolle Prosequi...I have seen a couple of post on here about it and the careers of our members.

    Look up "Failed Background Check" on this site. It's a good read with lots of good info IMO.

    You were upfront with the board; so why would they punish you now?
