I was initially charged with a felony but I had an attorney who had the felony reduced to a misdemeanor charge and I received probation. I do not have a felony conviction. I live in Missouri though.

Thanks for the advise! Its unfortunate that something so small (to me) can effect your life in such a huge way...All I can say is lesson learned

Im a new nurse in KC, Missouri. I was charged with a felony in 2011, I obtained an attorney who had the charges amended to a Misdemeanor i,n September 2013 I just got licensed in Oct 2013, I had no problems with the board of nursing but I have been unable to obtain any jobs. I have been on 6 interviews and I always tell them up front about my background because I am on probation. I actually had an offer for a Skilled Care Facility accepted it, took a drug test and passed it, then I received a call from Human Resources saying they can't hire me because I have a felony. Clearly, I don't have a felony, I was only charged with one but the charges were amended by the courts. I plead guilty to a lesser charge as an agreement with the judge and the prosecutor. I immediately contacted the Missouri State Highway Patrol for a copy of the report and it shows where I was charged with a felony but also says I was guilty of a Misdemeanor for the same case. Can someone tell me what, or if there is something that can be done?
