Since Nurses are licensed by the state a felony conviction could affect your lecensure. For the "official" answer to your question you need to contact your state Board of Nursing.
Having a felony record does not necessarily disqualify you from becoming a nurse in Missouri. However, the Missouri State Board of Nursing will review your record on a case-by-case basis and consider factors such as the nature and severity of the offense, the time that has passed since the conviction, and evidence of rehabilitation. It is recommended to contact the Board directly for guidance and more specific information regarding your individual circumstances.
I believe that a misdemeanor offense would not disqualify you from licensure, HOWEVER, for an answer to something that important you should contact your state Board of Nursing for the OFFICIAL answer.
The state in question is not given, but I would be very surprised if any state Board of Nursing licensed a felon. Call your state board and simply ask.
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.
Having a felony may disqualify you from becoming a CNA, as it depends on the specific policies of the state licensing board. However, in some cases, the type of felony and how long ago it occurred may be taken into consideration during the application process. It is best to check with the state nursing board for the most accurate information.
Simply put, NO, all employers will do backround checks. You're nursing college will do backround checks. The ANA will look at you like a crook! If you are an ex con. Find an other job, nursing is not for convicts b/c people in nursing judge you like they don't have anything better to do ex con or not. Contrair moofrair....while it may be "typical" practice to not employ felons, this doesn't mean it's impossible for someone with a felony to become a nurse. It truly depends on the degree and type of criminal act. In Ohio, most violent charges will exclude you from becoming a nurse automatically, however they WILL consider licensing and employment of felons with non-violent charges including drug trafficking and fraud. The policy expresses that it will be reviewed on a case by case basis, and the hiring of such felons is left up to the employers themselves. So, simply put, it's difficult but not impossible for a felon to become licensed and employed as a nurse. http://www.nursing.ohio.gov/pdfs/OHCRC.pdf
The nursing board is to keep the best qualified nurses on a hospital staff. Passing a nursing board is a test to make sure that those wanting to be nurses are the best qualified at what they do.
I don't believe that you need a license issued by a state government agency to be a Realtor in Virginia - that authorization is issued by the Board of Realtors, which is a non-governmental body. In that case your expunged felony record would not be available to them and, if you otherwise qualify, you should be able to be granted a license.
Yes.

The purpose of a nursing board is actually to protect the public. They ensure that people practicing as nurses are properly educated and licensed to practice.
