I am from a nursing family and work in prison if you are in the UK the answer is no I am afraid as it is a reportable profession and no criminal convictions are allowed except ofcourse for minor traffic offences and similar stuff.

Unless the rules have changed, you can not get a nursing license if you have ever been convicted of a felony. Before writing State Boards, you have to provide a certified copy of your birth certificate and your social security number and the licensing board WILL check your background.
I don't know of any state that allows a former felon to handle prescription medications.
If you want any more of an answer, then you can contact the State Board of Nursing for the state in question and they can tell you the same thing I have.

Check with your State Board of Healing Arts. It would depend upon what they went to prison for. If the charge is violent crime, sex, or drug related, probably not. Otherwise I see no reason why they can't continue nursing training.

Join the military, request nursing as your Military Occupation specialty. You get the training, work in a military hospital, paid while you learn, continuing education during the entire enlistment.

From what I know, when you train to be a nurse before your training commences you have a health and police check. You can't be a nurse if you have a criminal record.

I very much doubt it...although they do have a process to see what it is you have been to prison for...so there is a chance. You also have to prove that you won't repeat what ever you have done wrong. x

You can go to school, but you cant take the licensure if you have a felony, you need to be honest if it is not drug releated they may let you test.

i think it may depend on the offence, and who ever it is would have to enquire at whatever university they wanted to do their nursing degree, good luck to them
