    What Charges Could Disqualify Me From Being Hired In A Nursing Home
    I have a few things in my past that I am sure would not look good when it came to a backround check. I have a few possession charges, and one petty theft case which I think was dropped. I am not a nurse but they have offered me a position in the housekeeping department. I am just so scared that when I go to get my fingerprints done, it will come back with all these charges. I have been clean for over 5 years and have done drug and alcohol treatment. I did all these dumb things 5 years and more ago. Please help? Im so nervous Im going to quit my current job for this one and end up with no job at all?

    Any felony will most likely prevent you from working there. A domestic violence charge if a misdemeanor may.

    But all you can do is be honest and try for it
