Can florida board of Nursing see an expunged case?

I am a nursing student & going to take the NCLEX in Dec 2009. Case for 3rd degree grand theft will be dismissed in March and applying for expungement so case will be expunged by July/August2008. Do I have to tell my University if I plead Not Guilty and did the PTI program if case was dismissed? Can I still take the NCLEX or will the board of nursing see it and ask for an explanation? Can a private University like UM see it? Thanks for all of your input, any and all help is appreciated. =)

Hmmmmm.... expungments are normally applied to convictions, which you don't have since the case was dismissed. (And they only work if the court and your attorney follow up afterwards to make sure they are completely cleaned out of the system. )

Normally, a private university would not see a criminal history, but the state nursing board would be running a criminal background check as part of their certification process.

If you case is dismissed, you don't have a conviction anyway, so your best bet is to simply call the board and ask them if a criminal charge that was dismissed should be declared on your application.
