QUESTION
If there's a strong possibility I'll be hired to work as nurse and I am having record expunged next week, should I disclose this?

More details to this question:
I'm a nurse. I had misdemeanor for petty theft in 2007. I paid a fine probation. No other trouble since. Dumb mistake. I interviewed today and am sure they will hire me but I know they will do a background check. Would it be wise to let them know that my record will soon be clear so if/when they do see something it won't cause a problem?

There is no law governing this. Therefore, you have asked for advice, but not legal advice. My personal advice is to disclose and tell the truth. If you are caught, you will be discharged.

Probably yes as it will show up, and it takes a while for an expungement to work through the system. Reality is, as of today, it is on your record. Honesty is the best policy.
