The charge I received was from being a passenger in a car where there was marijuana that didnt belong to me. However I still was convicted for a 3rd degree felony. I completed a conditional discharge which allows me to expunge after 6 months instead of the regular 5 years for misdemeanors. I'm hoping that I can explain to my school that it is in the process of being expunged and that I will still be able to attend this upcoming fall. Thank you both for your responses, they were very helpful.

I should clarify a little more. Does the board make this kind of decision or do they only handle license cases? thank you

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could get some advice with my situation. About three years ago I was convicted of a 3rd degree misdemeanor, the only charge I have ever received in my life. I completed a conditional discharge and I am eligible to get the record expunged. My problem is that I am expected to go through the process of a Certified Background to gain clearance clinical no later than May 30th. I am going to call my lawyer to start the process of expungement tomorrow but the process takes a few months so I am expecting the conviction to show up when my background check is performed. Would it be recommended that I contact the BON of my state before submitting the background check and letting them know the case is in the process of being expunged? I am very nervous that I will not be able to begin nursing school in the fall because of this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time.
