Hey, I am in the process of getting accepted into the nursing program in Georgia. I am wondering if this would not allow me to further my career. I'm not sure how to get my records I am from California. I was arrested when I was 17 or 18 for a syringe, in California because I was with someone at the time who was on drugs, hard drugs. Basically he put his needle in my bag without me knowing. I was going to stay at my sisters house, and we were pulled over. My sister( was on probation) I had no idea what was in my bag when they pulled us over. So I allowed them to search the over night bag, and they found a needle. Which I guess was unopened, but they knew the guy I was with, and I guess didn't give me much of an opportunity to explain myself. I knew it wasn't mine, but I knew it probably didn't matter. I didn't know it was there and unfortunately got arrested with my sister. Which I personally didn't know at the time would affect my future. I was kind of a lost girl, and obviously was with the wrong people and got in a bad situation. I've tried searching my record online but I don't come up. I was booked and released and never paid a fine or knew what my charge was or if I have one...? I know that I really want to become a nurse. My dream is to become a nurse but I'm so scared this will not allow me to become one.
