What is the name of your state? Indiana
I tried searching on the FAQ about this question but I didnt find a match.
12 years ago, when I just turned 18 I got into a squabble with another girl. I smacked her after she called me a fowl word in the presence of the police. I truly didnt realize this was something I could get arrested for at that time. Well, I was convicted of class A misdemeanor battery, attended anger mangagement courses, and successfully compeleted my 6 month or 1 yr unsupervised probation (cant even remember the punishment). Since then Ive never been convicted of any crime have no parking violations or speeding tickets.
Since then I have worked as a correctional officer, substitute teacher, and am a licensed healthcare professional. My problem is I am currently applying to medical school and it asks me if I have ever been convicted of a misdemeanor. I feel that if I answer yes, I will be discriminated against after I have worked so hard at this goal. If I am remembering correctly, my last background check in 1998 didnt show up anything, what should I do? Will it show up?
