    Degree for a felon?
    I want to know if I can get a degree I health care if I'm a convicted felon?

    You can get a degree... unfortunately you won't be able to work in at least most of the field so it would be a waste of time.

    Agree. You can get a degree in any field you want. ** you may not be admitted into nursing programs, or law programs, but in general, you can get any degree you want.

    As noted, most places will not hire you in health care, due to licensing and accreditation rules.

    Well, it kind of depends on how bad of a felon you are.
    If not much, probably yes.
    If you've done ILLEGAL-ILLEGAL things, than NO.

    Really? Come on now...do you know the answer or not? How bad of a felon? A felon is a felon when it comes to health care.
    Please be more careful with answers when they need a factual answer rather than an opinion.

    In every job I can think of for health care, no, a felon will not be hired.

    Seriously? We pride ourselves as to the accuracy of our responses. This is not a playground for children.

    To the OP, having a felony will keep from licensure in any healthcare field.
