Each case is decided on a case by case basis, so you may not get a honest answer until you apply. Be honest and have the required information ( court papers and the outcome such as probation, fine, or community service and the discharge) when you apply for your boards.

If your were accepted in school with that I don't see how you can't get licensed or a job and its not a felony. you should call the board to see what they say so you dont waste your time.
