My story

I am a convicted felon in massachusetts. I was arrested with possesion of marijuana with intent to distribute. I was 19 and thats that. Went to school after and got a 3.89 gpa associates in liberal arts and then went on and got an associates in nursing.

After finishing school I applied for the boards and was denied because of this felony charge. After about 4 months I got all my papers together, references from probation officer, and even tracked down the district attorny I applied again and was good to go.

I have always been straight up on every job interview Ive ever had about this issue. I think I might not of gotten one job because of it, a hospital in newton wellsley.

IVe been a nurse for over 5 years and my advice to anyone who has a felony or past convictions is to be very up front about this issue.

Anyway good luck.
