If you've volunterred at a hospital near Pomona

Published

Hello,

I have sort of a strange question. If anyone has volunteered at a hospital nearby the pomona area and the hospital required a FINGERPRINT CARD to conduct a background check, please let me know what hospital this was.

Why am I looking for this info? Without getting too complicated I'll just say that I have a juvenile record which disallows me from doing certain things. For example I can never work in law enforcement, but I can work in a "regular" hospital (one that does not do fingerprint chcks. They don't do these checks because they do not have the authority to) the BON can not consider m juvenile record for licensing purposes. High security hospitals are a grey area though, and the best way to find out if they can consider my record is to apply to volunteer at one.

I hope that wasn't too confusing, your comments are appreciated. THanks!

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 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.

please refer to this thread for additional information:
