    Try looking at other post for people with similar problems on this website

    You should contact your state board of nursing to ensure an accurate answer.

    Good advice from the above. I would also look into the process of expungement after it drops down to a misdemeanor, but that would usually take a few years.

    I would consult a Nurse Attorney on the issue. Most nursing boards take things like this on a case-by-case basis, and you’ll need better advice than you’d get on an internet forum.
