Trouble at 19

[AdamA]

My name is Adam, Im starting my schooling for a nursing degree. I wanted to know if there is anyone out there that has had a run in with the law when they were younger and is now a nurse. I was charged with a misdemeanor at age 19. I am now 26 and I am wondering how this will effect me when I start looking for a job.

Thanks,

Adam

Hey Adam

Don't worry too much about it, bud. I had to plead guilty to assault and battery about 12 yrs ago. Did a day in jail (DON'T GO TO JAIL!!!). Six months of probation. Never heard from Board about it. Have had no particular problem getting license in other states.

(The SOB really had it coming. My ex's 2d husband. Manipulating her by threatening to send our kids--in my custody--to foster care by sending false reports of child abuse, drug dealing, sexual abuse of my kids to police, DHS, Board of Nrsing, etc. He never did that again.---Refer to the male nursing forum 'males vs females' discussion.)

My present wife had a shoplifting conviction as a 19-20 yr old. Just became LPN. A little paperwork hassle. No problem.
