Can i still become a nurse in California with a misdemeanor.

Question

Is there any information where i can still become a nurse with a misdemeanor or in any other state.please send me info.

Answer 1

It should not be a problem but be sure to pursue an expungment near or at the end of your summary probation. This is done so that your conviction is dismissed in the interests of justice.  There is a small fee to the court and is done through the court where the case was heard.  Just ask for a form per Penal Code section 1203.4 and 1204.

Answer 2

Misdemeanor is a simple offense and it is not a hindrance to becoming a nurse.
