I got charged with petty theft when I was 18. It was a misdemeanor. I am now 21 and have finished my community service and paid all my fines and the case was closed ( not dismissed or expunged just closed.) I am taking my pre reqs to get into nursing school so what I want to know is will that affect me getting into the program or getting my license and a job. I also want to know can I get it expunged even though the case is closed and what do I have to do to do that? I couldnt find anything on misdemeanors and nursing laws online so if you have any info I will appreciate it.
