Can I get a job as a nurse w/ a felony
I want to know if in California a person w/ a felony can have a nursing career. I have not been convicted of a violent crime, but I do have a felony on my record. I plan to attend the nursing program in my area. I just want to know if I will be employable after graduation.

Contact the, Board of Nursing, in your county they can better advice you. In Alabama you can complete the nursing program and then have a hearing with the board. They then will decide. Of course, it depends on the crime, drugs I think is a no, no. Plus, you'll need to show all positive things you have done since being in prison. It is a lot to risk. But you must decide is it really worth it being they can decide no. But, please try! Exspecially with how hard it is to find a job without being a felon. I will say this, "Please love taking care of others from the heart." GOOD LUCK AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU!

I can not believe that I was denied a job as a nurse in a nursing home because of a felony. They can hire a nurse who by the way had been accused of stealing drugs, she just can not pass out the narcotics now, but can not hire me. I mean, where am I going to work? I have 2 children to take care of.
