I have a problem. I'm an LPN Nurse in the State of Michigan. I was involved in a situation at a bar, where I had to defend myself against a woman. Unfortunately I was charged initially with assault and battery and drunken disorderly. After the FACTS of the situation came out, I am now only being charged with disturbing the peace. My problem is that it was my understanding that I was supposed to report these charges right away to my employer and possibly the State Nursing Board. I have been putting that off because I have been so nervous of what the penalty might be. I love nursing and am still continuing my education in this field. Can anyone please tell me what the outcome of my situation might be???? This incident took place over a few months ago and everything is about to become final with the "disturbing of the peace" charge. I am going to report this soon and I would like to have an idea of what to expect???
