I was recently informed that a criminal record of any kind may effect the possibility of becoming a nurse. About two years ago I was charged with possession of controlled substance (which was small piece of marjuana) and paraphernalia charge. The controlled substance charge was dropped, and I was charged with paraphernalia. Even thought the controlledsubstance charge was dropped, the charge still shows on my record when checked by employer. Another thing that I was might be pending is that I was put on the Child Abuse registry for seven years for the fact that my child was with me. I did three months doing intense outpatient treatment. And since have stayed drug-free. I would love to pursue my education in nursing, having great interest for Obstetric or neo-natal care which is working with premature babies in intensive care unit. For if there is going to be anything that holds me from getting a degree of such I feel that its going to be a big waste of time.

it depends on the state. google in your state + board of nursing
mine would be "Arizona state board of nursing" if all you have is a misdemeanor, they may just put you on probation for a while after you get your license, or if its a felony, i think its 5 years after its been discharged in my state, that you can become a nurse. the child abuse registry, however may be a whole different deal, and that's why need to to contact the state board of nursing. they will tell you if it is possible, and which schools could work with you. if you can get a job after nursing school, i don't know. call some h.r departments of local hospitals , describe the circumstances, and see. good luck

I used that website http://www.echeck.pcti-system.com .. the one referenced by that detective guy. I found exactly what I was looking for. So much for Mr Right, or rather Mr Convicted Felon with 2 Liens against him totaling over 30,000$ and an ex-wife I never knew about!! Thank God I found out the truth before it was too late. We were almost engaged!!

It depends on the type of offence you have comitted. If previously, you are charged with possession of controlled drugs, I think it affect your chance of being a nurse. However, you need to prove to show that you can kick off the bad habit.

You have nothing to worry about unless you were convicted of a felony.

With man it could possibly be a truth. But with God all things are possible. We all need Jesus Christ. 1+1+1=1.
