Be honest and explain to nursing board. They are more acceptable that way. Check LSBN website for list of what disqualifies you. I had a felony from 14 years ago, but, after LSBN review they granted me acceptance. I made sure I had all documents pertaining to charge and letter of explanation when I sent packet in. If not, they will write you and ask for more info. This causes a major delay. Some people I spoke to said they can wait till after clinical starts before replying. Don't try to hide it because they will find it. Good luck.
