First of, thanks for responding to my post. I spoke to an attorney today and he stated that once the record is sealed I can put that i do not have a conviction. He also stated that because the case was withheld adjudication there was no conviction. If the application had asked whether or not I had a sealed or an expunged record I would have to indicate yes and explain the particulars of the offense. In this instance it specifically asked if I have any convictions which in my case would be no. Once they perform a background check my record is sealed unless they are a government agency for example The State Board of Nursing they would have to open a sealed record to see the specifications of the arrest. In my case it was a minor offense but it was still an offense and the decision would be up to them to make as to whether or not my license would be approved.

Hello everyone. I have a question and was wondering if anyone had an answer. I am currently waiting to be accepted in the nursing program at broward college and had a general question. If someone has a sealed or an expunged record, how should they answer the question on the FDLE form that asks have they ever been convicted of a crime. Should the person answer yes or no. I've contacted the school and people keep redirecting me to different people that can't seem to give me a straight answer. Please help, thanks.
