Yeah I'll call them when im about to graduate, this is gonna be in 2 years time, i just wanna know if anyone has been in the same situation as i do. Thanks for the reply though! :)

Hi there guys, I'm currently a nursing student, i'll be graduating in 2 years time with a BSN. Later this year, I was caught shoplifting, got my mug shot, fingerprinted, and the court date which was on March 1st 2012. I was pretty nervous that i might get convicted, but the witness didnt turn up so my case was dismissed right away. However, my arrest is still in the FBI record. My lawyer has already started the sealing process of the arrest. I know that when you want to be licensed in nursing, you'll need to have fingerprints taken, and i know it'll show up even though it's sealed since BON belongs to the government. So my question is, will this affect my licensure, will i still be able to get the nursing license? And if they ask me about my convictions, that would be a NO right? Do they ask if i have get arrested or anything like that? Im currently in Chicago, IL. Thanks guys.
