We can't give legal advice but lets see if we can get you pointed in the right way.
First Peanut&buttercup has given you some good advice about looking into expungement. You will still have to reveal the offense to the board of nursing but it will improve your job prospects tremendously. Ohio has pretty recent changes that make expungement much easier.
Then reread the bill. It has actually been around a long time. in the bill there are a list of criminal offenses that automatically disqualify you. Then there is a list of offenses that you have to have 2 of in order to be disqualified. If you have only 1 offense for passing a bad check read the list of things it takes 2 of very carefully.
even if you make it through the absolute bars to license the board won't just approve you nor will they tell you in advance if you will be approved. read up on what they consider (length of time, number of offences, what you have done to make things right etc.)
best of luck with everything.

I have a misdemeanor from a $15 bounced check from 15 years ago. Now, I can not find a job because of the Senate Bill 160. I am a semester away from graduating LPN school. Does anybody have any suggestions? Where can I find a job? I feel this is so unfair.
