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.
There are organizations that help convicted felons to find a job. There are not many opportunities in the nursing field as you can't be a felon to pass your nursing boards or even take the test.

Your only option would be to contact the court in which you were convicted in, and try to have your conviction expunged. If or until the conviction is expunged, no medical center can legally hire you (as a nurse).
You must have a license to do this and that may be a background check problem for a convicted felon.
It is very difficult for a convicted felon to get a job in the health care field due to the sensitive information and materials that they will have access to. There are several states that provide waivers so that convicted felons can work in health care, Illinois is one of those states.
Yes, there is employment for felons in Colorado. You should start by contacting organizations that put individuals with a felony to work. They will provide you with many organizations that hire felons.
If you work for an EOE (equal opportunity employer) there is a better chance of a convicted felon (serving prison time or not) to become employed in this field. There are no employers MANDATED or otherwise SUPERVISED in the criminal status of their employees. ONLY federaly mandated laws pertaining to national security and other similar orginazations (public or private) will REQUIRE (by law) a background check for these positions.
