Can you get a nursing degreern with a felony conviction?
Patriciablanco
Since Nurses are in the health-care profession, are expected to maintain confidentiality- and are in frequent contact with -of course, Drugs and Doctors, one would at least have reservations. Most trainee or student nurses are college age. This is not an occupation someone who is, say middle-aged normally enters.
Added: You are not prevented from attending an accredited school and obtaining a nursing DEGREE. However - as mentioned above, getting licensed by the State Board which issues nurses could be a hurdle you may not be able to pass. Contact your state board and ask before you invest your time and money in an occupation which you you may never be able to practice.

∙ 14y agoFor a question as important to a career and the ability to earn a livliehood as this one, instead of waiting for an answer on this venue, I suggest that you contact the state licensing agency for the state in which you intend to practice your profession and get the OFFICIAL answer to your question.

∙ 13y agoProbably not. I don't know every State's laws, but have had a Nurse's license in four states. So California, Illinois , Nevada and South Dakota are a no. And if you are convicted of a felony and are already a nurse, you may appeal a ruling to have your license revoked, and I do know one nurse from Arizona who challenged this successfully, but had to be on 4 years probation at work. This nurse did not have access to controlled drugs for 2 years, then 2 years of only supervised access, along with continuing drug and personal counselling. The Nursing Board was more demanding than the State . And this was a personal use possession just a hair over the line. Sales is an automatic permanent ban for getting or keeping a nurse's license.
