Can i become a nurse with a felony?
It is a common question that most males and females tend to ask before they are venturing into the nursing profession.
When it comes to felony the offense does not tantamount to an automatic disqualification of the nursing or the medical license that is earned. There will be a licensing board who will take into account the nature of the felony conducted and will carefully scrutinize the application if any rendered for checking as to whether rehabilitation is required for evaluation of the risk of recidivism.
As for male or female students, it should be noted that if they ever have been convicted of a felony they may become ineligible to get the nursing license. If there is any male or female who has committed a felony he or she should consult a lawyer attached with a professional competency or agency for advice with regard to the conviction and its effect on your eligibility to get a license. It should be noted that when it comes to drug and assault offenses they are carefully scrutinized.
The best manner to find out more elaborate information is to contact the State Board Of Registering Nursing. You can also contact the County Superior Court where you were arrested. This is wise and prudent as many students put in a lot of time and effort to get their nursing degree and they need to check into their competency and eligibility of becoming a nurse with a felony. If there are minor crimes that pertain to the female or male nurse it does not speak well for the reputation of the student and there are some hospitals and health care units that will not take the risk. Many nurses also doesn’t understand difference between criminal record and driving record. If you get a parking violation ticket , that is never considered criminal record. if you get moving violation ticket, that might not be a criminal record, unless you got involved in motor accident where someone died. If you ever got misdemeanor charges, that is not a felony either.
