What would you do?

When I was 21 years old I was arrested for a hot check. I was never formally charged (I paid the check amount plus fees) and the case was dismissed but it still shows up in a background check as an arrest and dismissal. The County Attorney's office told me it shouldn't affect mein the future. Should I pay an attorney to expunge it? I also have 3 speeding violations but I paid those and they were also dismissed. Would they matter? I have read so many threads about the trouble people are having with the BNE and I would much rather avoid it if I could.

questions we seem to be encountering more and more often have to do with the effects of a criminal history on nursing licensure:

  • is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a criminal history?
  • is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a mip, dui, or other related charges?
  • what happens if you are charged or convicted of a crime after licensure?
  • can i go to nursing school and/or be licensed if my record has been sealed or expunged?
  • will i be able to go to nursing school with a criminal record?
  • what can happen if i receive a mip/dui/dwi or other charge while still in school?

these are questions that the members of allnurses.com cannot answer. the only reliable source of information is your state board of nursing.
