I WAS FOUND GUILTY OF A FELONY FOR SHOPLIFTING AT A RETAIL STORE. IT WAS ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. BEING MY FIRST TIME OFFENSE I WAS NOT IMPRISONED. I ONLY HAD TO ATTEND AN ADVOCATE PROGRAM, PAY COURT FEES, AND COMPLETE COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS. A FEW MONTHS AGO I HIRED A LAWYER TO EXPUNGE MY RECORD AND HE SUCCEEDED. MY QUESTIONS IS: EVEN THOUGH MY RECORD HAS BEEN EXPUNGED, IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT MY RECORD WILL SHOW WHEN APPLYING FOR THE RN PROGRAM? WHAT AM I TO ANSWER WHEN ASKED THE QUESTION IF EVER CONVICTED OR FOUND GUILTY OF A FELONY? AM I TO STATE “NO” OR “YES BUT EXPUNGED”?
