I am currently looking to start nursing school next year on April. I have a petty theft that I recently got on July 2015. Like everyone, I am very disappointed and didn't think things through at the time. Once nursing school is finished it will be about be about 3 to 4 years. I was hoping someone can direct me to the right places. I would love to volunteer somewhere where I can help other kids not to make the same mistake I did, especially if they are interested in the health care. I did get a lawyer which I paid a pretty penny for. He said he will most likely get me a diversion. Has anyone recently undergone this situation or something similar and still was able to sit for the NCLEX? Will this also affect me if I want to become a fly nurse or be a nurse corps? I've always been such a good girl and this one mistake has ruined my life. At least I feel and I am so embarrassed to share with anyone. I've read that I should tell my school but I'm afraid they too would look at me the wrong way.
