General Denial

Licensure of individuals convicted of certain crimes presents an unreasonable risk to public health and safety. Thus, applications for licensure by individuals convicted of the following crimes will be denied in all cases unless the individual can establish by clear and convincing evidence to the satisfaction of the Board or any other appropriate person charged with rendering a decision, that s/he has been rehabilitated and poses no threat to the health, safety and welfare of the public.

4. Any crime resulting in the individual being incarcerated, on work release, on probation or on parole.

:) I think you will be OK. I met a traveling RN in Wyoming who told me she killed her husband and did prison time for it. She then became an RN. I don't know if she was just incredibly lucky or if each state is different.Good luck

thank you. I never went to prison and since it was my first offense and the crime was non-violent, They gave me a deal wich I can ay that I am not a conicted felon. If anyone asks on any application to put down any conviction of a felony. I under the law can say no. Now if they ask for any offense, then obviously I have to list it. Thank you Donna
