A few years ago a neighbor and I had words over my 5 year old son. (My son was playing in my backyard, the neighbor screamed at him, scared him and made him cry so I confronted the neighbor about it.) The neighbor took me to court stating I threatened his life (which I didn't) and the judge acquitted me. If you are charged with something but found not guilty, would this keep a person from being able to be a nurse?

It depends on what the form asks. When I signed my papers to be both an undergraduate and graduate Social Work student they asked about felony charges (NOT misdemeanors, tickets or civil court cases) Most of the time they only if was an arrest from a felony charge. Even if you must say this was the case on an application... you were acquitted in a court of law. They will see this, and may ask you what happened. I would say you will be fine.

They better not or you could sue them. You are innocent as far as any legal considerations go. You might have to explain it. You could probably get a judge to remove or expunge it from your record so there will be no mention of it.

You will have no problem. If you do its illegal and you should sue. Even if you were arrested it does not matter. Innocent until proven guilty.
