I’ve crossed posts with you and have just written another long post explaining the difference between your situation and the real lead swingers I have seen making whiny excuses for frankly inexcusable incidents which show up on their DBS checks. One in particular recently.
But actually, Bettys harsh posts seem to have done you the world of good! You’re standing up for yourself and realising that actually no, it isn’t a huge crime and shouldn’t be significant in terms of a nursing career or being in contact with vulnerable people. Which is good. Well done 
So here’s my long post from the point of view of an employer, and a candidate who really was chancing it with a dodgy dbs record. This is the kind of situation where employers say no due to dbs.
You are not like this. Very clearly. Don’t worry about being mistaken for someone like this. From the other side, it’s usually quite clear who has integrity and insight into their past.
If you need to,some honest and heartfelt explanations should be enough. And that’s if by any chance it does turn up on your dbs check... which is unlikely!
So:
I recently came under great pressure to employ a young woman in a position working with a vulnerable children & adults, in a really rewarding job which is no doubt about it, is sometimes really high pressure too. An environment where multitasking and prioritisation of work is essential, as at times, you need to be evaluating rapidly what to do in what order as a continuous stream of events / needs come at you, and the decisions you make effect health (sorry to be vague, trying to keep confidentiality!).
Anyway, this candidate not only didn’t have a clear dbs, she’d been convicted for a racially motivated assault! But the agencies concerned felt that as she did a good interview, and had a good (sob) story, she was still a good candidate for the job.
I did interview her, and because I have a lot more interview experience, and wasn’t born yesterday (aka desperate to get a body in the position!), I wasn’t impressed by her excuses, which read like a lesson in what not to do when trying to show you have genuinely turned your life around!
Eg changing her story when she realised how detailed the dbs info was.
It went from a midnight drunken argument with a terribly abusive ex which got out of hand (woe is her etc), to an argument in a shopping centre with strangers where she (& her mother!) allegedly started it by shouting racist names. And then a fight broke out. Classy. A little different from the first story!
The dates also changed, from ‘it was in my past, over half a decade ago. I’m soooo much older now. Err, it was 2 years ago. It says in the dbs form.
Eg and lastly pulling out all the ‘poor me, everyone is against me’ stuff... the judge was against her, she couldn’t afford a lawyer, the other people were being racist, the shopping centre staff were racist. Oh and the judge was racists too apparently!
Can you imagine this person in a pressured environment with a vulnerable child or adults health in her hands? It would be a matter of time before she snapped and lashed out, hitting one of them I suspect. If she hadn’t started with the racial slurs first.
And it would be MY responsibility if and when that happened, because that’s what DBS checks are for.
This woman was a chancer, and I rather think her actions show she had no remorse for her crime whatsoever. She just thought she could lie and fabricate excuses to get around it.
And she’d been convincing enough to get through the first stage with this glib story telling stuff. In combination with a management desperate to fill a position quickly.
Shockingly already has a job with an LA working with vulnerable children in care.
OP, you are nothing like this woman, I can tell just from what you’ve written on this thread. My point is, if she can convince others to overlook a far more serious, and relevant, conviction, you’ll be absolutely fine.
