I have been attempting to gain some sort of employment while I wait out my situation with the BON. Due to my diverting meds from work, I was charged with one felony count for "Theft of Drugs" a forth degree felony. I qualified for a Treatment in Lieu of conviction program, so no "conviction" of a felony shows on a background check. However, it does show a pending felony case that is unresolved. This will be removed once I finish my probation, but that will be at least 9 months from now.
I have applied for several positions at Davita, and have gotten two calls from two different offices. Both conversations were with the hiring manager and both seemed very interested in me. I have interviews set up with both offices.
I know that Dialysis seems to be recovery friendly, but what about the felony charge? Do they have the option of hiring despite that, or since they are such a big company, do they have a policy of not hiring anyone with a felony issue? Should I just give up the idea of working there at all? Thanks for any input you may have for me.
