Have you looked into expunging the record? Depending on what state you live in you may be able to erase the files. Most allow you to do this if you have a misdemeanor and are a first time offender. However, I'm not sure what the laws are for first time offenders charged with a felony. Even if you are not convicted you may not be able to expunge.
Most school applications from what I remember ask if you have ever been "charged" with a crime. Being charged with a crime doesn't make you guilty, but the schools still want to know.
I'm not sure what schools run background checks, but you can almost guarantee every hospital you work for will. Best bet would be to talk to a lawyer.
