It depends on what state you are liscensing in, but you shouldn't have a problem since its a misdemeanor...but I hope you don't still use it. Aside from being unsafe and unethical, you could lose your liscense.

I don't think it will keep you out of nursing school. It isn't a felony, but call any nursing school and ask first.You can do this anonymously

If you finish yoru probation successfully, your record should be cleared. Stay away from controlled substances. As a nurse if you have that as a matter of record, you may not be considered trustworthy around medications.

I think it might affect your ability to get financial aid, so you should probably check with the school you wish to attend.
