Can A felon get a Job as a Nurse?

Q: My name is Danielle. I am 17 years I was sent to a 10 month program and I turn 18 in 2 weeks. I want to take my Certified Nurses Assistant class. Will my record hold me back? I'm going to college to be a Registered Nurse. Will my record hold me back?

A: Hello Danielle,

I have worked with offenders who have criminal convictions and hold health care licenses here in the state of New Jersey. I don’t know where you live or what your offense was, but you can contact the medical licensing board in your state. They will be able to advise you of licensing restrictions relating to your conviction.


Often ex-offender and felon job searches require some legal assistance. Once again, I don't know what your conviction is but it may be possible to have your charge expunged or downgraded. This will make it easier to work with. I suggest you contact your local legal aid office. You may be able to low-cost or no cost assistance getting this done.

I hope this helps
