There are many variables and considerations that are taken into account. I would recommend you contact the state Board of Nursing. I would do this before you start the program. It is possible for individuals to finish the program and be denied a license. Some will not even let individuals take the NCLEX exam. Some have obtained a license but have a very difficult time finding a facility that will hire them. This is not an uncommon situation, but the decision lies with the state Board on Nursing and there are - as I stated in the above - a number of variables they take into consideration. For example the type of felony, the length of time since the felony, etc.

It is possible to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Illinois with a felony, but it can depend on the nature of the felony and how recent it was. Illinois has some restrictions on felonies related to abuse or neglect. It is recommended to check with the Illinois Department of Public Health for specific guidance on this issue.

No, you will not be able to get your CNA license if you have a felony in the state of Illinois. Many employers will not hire people with a felony offense.
