In many instances it depends on the crime committed. The school application will ask if you have ever been convicted of a crime. However, all students within this field go through a background check. The best thing to do is answer the question truthfully. Of course this will bring up a red flag. In most cases, they will call you in for an interview. Again be honest! Sometimes the school itself will allow students to pursue the degree, but the state board of nursing can deny the licence. Thus, check out everything in detail before making a decision to go ahead with the education in this area.
