Background Check/Criminal History

two questions we seem to be encountering more and more often have to do with the effects of a criminal history on nursing licensure:
is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a criminal history?
what happens if you are charged or convicted of a crime after licensure?
these are questions that can not be answered by the membership of allnurses. the only reliable source of information is your state board of nursing.
