Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I was arrested for practicing nursing without a valid licence, due to me not transferring it on time when I moved out of state.

I plead no contest and adjudication was withheld to this felony charge. Will this show up on a National background check that I am a felon? I am in the process of getting it sealed, but I am afraid my job will find out, before this process is complete.

Yes, this will show up on your background check. It will continue to show up until it is sealed. And under Florida law, you still have to reveal it if you work for an agency that works with children primarily.
