More details to this question:
I was arrested and charged with shoplifting from Walmart for forgetting to pay for two items under my cart in the amount of $150.00. I have never been arrested before and I am a professional nurse. I need to know how to handle this so it does not go on my record and jeopardize my nursing license.

Depending on the court your case is in, there are sometimes pretrial diversion programs or similar programs that can be done in order to avoid a criminal conviction.  If your case is in the ATL, North GA area, I am happy to speak to you about it further.
