Will I get hired with this misdemeanor? Please help!

Published

I’ve been a nurse for 10.5 years. Had ZERO criminal history. I got Covid and it caused me to go into a psychosis, and I ended up with a misdemeanor charge while I was in this psychosis. I was told by my lawyer that I ended up with one of the harshest judges in the county. He did not care whatsoever about what had happened to me. 
I just received an offer from an HCA hospital here in Florida (where this happened). Is this misdemeanor going to prevent me from starting? Has anyone dealt with anything similar? The charge is for Criminal Mischief, I broke a window when I was hallucinating/delusional while in this psychosis and the police were called. I have never had any issues with drugs or impairment. And like I mentioned, ZERO criminal history before covid caused that psychosis and it all happened. Please help!!

Only HCA can tell you that. Ask the lawyer to get the misdemeanor expunged before you go job hunting.
