Check with a local lawyer to be sure.
In general terms, a sealed record still is a record, just not accessible to the public. Usually, a restoration of gun rights requires that a record be expunged rather than sealed.
Another View: In terms of being sealed or expunged it makes little difference. Such records, when sealed or expunged only render them unavailable to members of the general public.
The courts, law enforcement, and government agencies always have access rights to these records. You would have to obtain a pardon from the governor of the state in order to qualify.

Your criminal record is permanent, although a case resolved in juvenile court will be absolutely sealed (there are some exceptions even in juvenile court). In some instances, depending on the outcome on the felony, the record may be sealed from public view even for adults. Even a sealed adult record, however, may be used for lawful governmental purposes.
No
If a person was charged with a felony but has not been charged with any new crimes for 5 years after being released, they can petition the courts to have their record sealed. Felony convictions for SVU crimes cannot be sealed though.
Yes, unless the record was sealed or expunged. Felony convictions remain on your record indefinitely.
Your juvenile record will be sealed to the public.
It depends. If you have a felony on your record, you can never again own a firearm, unless your rights have been restored. Having your rights restored is something that you have to request, it is not something that just happens, and even then, it can only be done under certain circumstances.Additional: A "sealed' Felony means that it is sealed only to the general public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies doing background checks still have access to the record
If convicted as an adult, forever or until either sealed, expunged or pardoned.
You can have your record sealed, or your DUI expunged, but it doesn't always mean what you think it means in plain English. The law in Nevada requires 7 years for misdemeanor DUI, 15 years for felony DUI, before your record can be expunged.
It doesn't go away. You get a felony (or misdemeanor) conviction on your adult record, it's on there for life. Even juvenile convictions don't simply go away - the records just get sealed when you turn 18.
You would have to check with the licensing authority in your state, but I do not believe you can. Even though your record is sealed, it is sealed ONLY to the public. Government agencies still have access to it.
Yes. If you were not convicted you can probably get your record sealed. The employee are prohibited to ask questions like these. And you can state that you never had a felony conviction. But laws in different States may differ a little, but most likely you can still be a nurse.
