I am embarrassed to even share this but I got a petty theft charge when I was 18, (7 years ago). I am now in nursing school. My case was deferred in Colorado and eventually dismissed after I took a class. I later went and sealed the case to where it doesn’t even show up as dismissed on a normal back ground check.
I know that BON will see sealed records but my question is will a dismissed charge matter at all on their background check. And if it does will it stop me from being licensed or make finding a job hard?
I have some friends who are nurses who got their licenses with drug histories or two duis and they assure me I’ll be fine but I’m still really nervous. Does anyone have some insight on this??
