Felony Record

Published

Hi Everyone

My name is Samantha and I am new to this sit. But I thought that I could get some help. I am getting ready to get started in Nursing School. I know that it is not a for sure thing that I will be able to get my license. But I am willing to give it a try. I got in to some trouble when I was younger I have 2 felonies they are drug related and happened at the same time I was charged about 4 ½ years ago but I have been clean for over 6. From what I here is that the board will take each case and look at it. I have been working with law informant on training in the Middle Schools for the last 3 years and I have several people that would be will to write letters of recommendation if needed. I would love some feed back what do you think?

Thank you so much Sam ;)

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?
  • is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a dui or other related charges?
  • what happens if you are charged or convicted of a crime after licensure?
  • can i go to nursing school and/or be licensed if my record has been sealed or expunged?
  • will i be able to go to nursing school with a criminal record?
  • what can happen if i receive a dui/dwi or other charge while still in school?

these are questions that the members of allnurses.com cannot answer. the only reliable source of information is your state board of nursing.
