    Most likely you will not be able to get a nursing license with a felony even if it was expunged. To be a nurse you have to have a 100% clean background.

    mjaj19, Check with the state licensing board, I think some states evaluate applicants on a case by case basis. Good luck

    I would say that you can't - contact the Board in PA and ask.

    I do see that if the felony conviction is more than 10 years old it's on a case-by-case basis but a person has to apply for a waiver.

    Answered on the second thread - in PA after ten years a person can apply and a waiver can be considered on a case by case basis. Before 10 years, no.
