Well it must be wonderful to be so opinionated and unable to ever make 1 mistake.... After doing some research on this law it seems it only applies to felony drug and or medicare/medicade fraud charges. My charge (misprison of a felony) came after I failed to report something a family member was doing. I dont think this applies to me, but I will write the FL BON and get an opinion from them. Thanks to everyone for your responses.. well except one. Did you stop for one second to think the recidivism rate might be so high because many people are unable to find work after a conviction Mrs spacecoast know-it-all. Let he who has never sinned cast the first stone.

Are there any Florida RN on here who have ever been convicted of a felony? I was recently convicted of misprison of a felony (that means I knew someone was commiting a crime and I did not report it). I cannot get it expunged and my state will not give a RN or LPN license to anyone convicted of a felony. I noticed that the Florida BON has a much more understanding policy on an applicants criminal history. It seems if you can show rehabilitation and good behavior they are inclined to give you a chance. I need to know from Florida nurses if this is true? There is a technology center that offers a LPN program in my state close to my home. I was thinking of taking the LPN class in my state and then getting a Florida LPN license and moving there. Once I move to Florida start working as a LPN and then get my RN. Is there anyone out there in similar circumstances? I just need someone to give me a chance. I was a cop for 14 years and I never had so much as a speeding ticket in my entire life until now. I already have a bachelors degree, but its useless now.
