Can He Still be a Nurse And

Okay, well I have a friend that was 2 semesters behind me in Nursing School. Lately he's been kinda down, and I asked him, why so down you're about to be done with school! Well he told me he was worried that with his past criminal history, he wasn't going to be able to work in a Nursing Home which is what he really wants to do. Apparently he has a misdemeanor criminal coversion charge which how he explained it to me, it's quite theft, and isn't quite shoplifing, I guess it's the lowest charge for taking stuff that isn't yours that you can get.... anyways it's about 2 years old now, and they plan to work in Indiana. Well what do you guys think? I told him that I didn't have the answer but that I'd try to find out. Thanks for any help you could give.

Oh he can take the EXAM, he's just worried about AFTER he passes it and say he goes to find a job... will the nursing home discriminate on him because he has a misdemeanor charge on his record.
