Hi all.
My problem is this: I'm an RN licensed to practice nursing in the states of DE and PA. I'm soon to be arrested and charged with something along the lines of "credit card fraud" or "misuse of credit cards" something like that. I've been assured that the "level" of theft will equate to misdemeanor, as opposed to felony. I've made arrangements to speak with an influencial attorney in my area, hopefully this helps. I have no prior convictions or "marks" on my record, other than the occasional speeding ticket. I'm essentially a good, caring person who got caught up in something completely stupid and out of character.
ANY advice you have, please share with me! It's extremely important that I'm made aware of any precident for "first time offense" leniency or similar happenings. My license to practice nursing in both of these states (as well as any other state) hangs in the balance. To complicate matters I recently applied for a traveling nursing position, for which I would need to apply for nursing licensure in a multitude of states if I'm to be successful. I'm sure my lawyer will fight hard for me, but I cannot speak with him until next week and I'm anxious for advice now.
Any help anyone can provide is welcome! Also..feel free to email me as opposed to posting on the board if that is your preference.
Thank you so much in advance.
