download the rules for RNs in the state of Texas. It will plainly state if an RN candidate will be licensed with a felony on their record.

You will have a hard time getting hired in Texas with a felony on your record. Having stipulations will make it even harder. Not impossible. But certainly not easy.

Yes they allowed me to do clinicals they were cool with it. I take my nclex on the 11th of this month but still don't know if I'll get the job. I got one offer but they said to wait till after I pass to talk about it and see what's gonna happen. I'm a EMT so I can work as that until I get a job I just hope I do.
