Can i be a rn if i have a felony on my adult record

I don't think so, but contact your state's board of nursing and see what they say.

In the medical field, they're usually pretty strict about records.

I know on my job, {and I work for the state} they are doing background checks on every employee, and if anything turns up, even what one might consider a minor charge, they are terminated.

Again, contact your state's BON, there is a link to Boards of nursing, in the upper right hand corner of every page on this site.

Email them and see what they say.
