A friend of mine was recently charged with embezzlement of federal funds. She just finished the LPN program and is trying to obtain her license but is having difficulty. Does anyone know the laws around this if she is convicted of a felony?

I hate to hear so many be judgemental. This person has NOT been convicted of a crime, she has been charged. She is not a repeat offender she has never even had a speeding ticket in her life. She is also the type of person that we could come up with 100+ character witnesses if needed. This is a simple question about a license, not whether or not she can be hired after obtaining one. She has already been offered 3 jobs pending her license #. And these are from employers that know her legal standing at this time. These employers have offered her employment without her even applying. One being to care for a 10 year old boy on 24/7 resperator and feeding tubes. His parents want her and so does he.

Each applicant is evaluated on a case by case basis. The Board of Nursing considers the nature, severity, and recency of the offense, as well as rehabilitative efforts and other factors. The Board cannot make a determination for approval or denial of licensure until the entire application and supporting documentation is received and reviewed.
The Board of Nursing strongly encourages all individuals with a criminal or disciplinary history to be fully prepared with information regarding their background and to start the application process as soon as you can.
So I guess you still can get it.

As far as lincesing is concerned each state has its own rules administered by the state. You would have to check with the department of consumer affairs or department of health for the state she wants to be licensed in.
Being convicted of a felony may impact her ability to get a job in the industry afterwards.

while the state nursing board may review each case on a case by case bases I would say it does not look good because 1st it's embezzling funds big dishonesty second it's a recent charged no time to demonstrate she has reformed

Even if she were to obtain it... I can't imagine that she'd actually land a job!
It was pointless for her to pursue an education without researching the legalities before hand.

legal drug possession and nurse do not blend. you've already shown that you'll't be depended on round drugs. Now, i'm particular you've reformed and do not loiter round all of us out of your drug possession days. yet, legally, with this on your record, you're going to locate it demanding to get a license.

No ,she can not get the license.
Being in the medical field requires high morals including honesty.
