oh... and Banananurse1: The courthouse should have copies of your records even if they were expunged. When you are awarded expungement, your record gets marked as dismissed.

Thank you socal0321. It was my hope that people (that are going through what I had to go through) would have a sense of hope. When I searched around for advice it was virtually non-existent. I wanted to give people an idea of what the process was like so that they could plan ahead. Best of luck and keep on working toward your dream.

Hi CaliCalinurse, If you didn't recently commit a crime and you don't have actions against your RN license then the answer is no. But when you applied to California, did you disclose the charge even though it was dismissed. You have to report dismissed items even though you were not convicted. Iʻm not really sure why because it seems like it would be really hard to hold a dismissed offense against someone. Maybe it helps to catch multiple offenders in different states or maybe because the background check agency that they use didn't update their records after the offense was dismissed and it still shows up as an unresolved case. Bottom line, report it so that they cant use it against you later. Hope this helps.

Good job Elisha_V, Being upfront really seems to go a long way with the BON plus your offense was back in 2001. I wish you the best of luck. I'm not too sure about Pennsylvania's policies but I'm bet they are relatively similar to California's. Let me know if you have any questions.

The requirement says that you have to pass the NCLEX OR have a score of 1600. I'm assuming that the NCLEX was scored like that back in the day.
