    Default Re: Dismissed Misdemeanor for Hospital Job

    I can't tell you what a prospective employer will do but if the charge was dismissed, then it was dismissed. You weren't convicted of anything. There would be a record of the dismissed charge as well as the arrest but employers who use arrest records to deny employment are really taking legal chances. Such a policy can definitely run afoul of EEOC guidelines and some States flat-out prohibit using arrest records as the basis for denying employment.

    I strongly suspect you're worrying over nothing.

    I would speak to a lawyer about filing a pet ion of factual innocence or whatever it's called, I think you are given paper work that the case was dismissed basically b.c you were innocent. Stuff will still come up but having that paperwork and getting the arrest sealed may help. You should be fine but sometimes an employer sees an arrest and just assume something.
