Q: Will the CA Board of Nursing be able to view my juvenile misdemeanor on a thorough background check?
When I was 15 I was charged with 3rd degree retail fraud in MI. I went to court and paid the $150 fine, and completed a Consent Calendar Program apparently (I don't remember this). In my court document, it states "no fingerprint or arrest cards were submitted with the petition request. As the petition was not authorized, under MCL 28.243(7) any fingerprint or arrest cards retained by the law enforcement agency pertaining to the respondent in this case must be destroyed." I had no issue obtaining my MI RN license without disclosing this info (they used IdentoGo fingerprinting), but I am worried about CA's Live Scan FBI/DOJ check, because I have heard it is VERY thorough. The CA application requires that I report ALL misdemeanor or felony convictions, even if they have been adjudicated, dismissed or expunged or if a diversion program has been completed. Was I technically convicted? Will this show up on the CA background check or can I refrain from disclosing this minor charge?
