    Nurses, and oh heck, pharmacy technicians have to be pretty even tempered, matau. All you can do is ask at the school of your choice, come clean with them and tell them what happened, they can only say NO.

    Hello m:

    If your charge was the equivalent of a felony, you won't get a license. But, if it could have been a misdemeanor in civilian court, then maybe.
