Answer #1

I really dont think you are going to be sucessfull at that but I hope you find me to be wrong. I am a c.n.a. and I cant find a job and that isnt even being close to the key to the drugs lol I dont know but if you find out im wrong let me know because I need to go to school 4 something.

Answer #2

It’s funny that you ask that question because I just got out of my bed to look on line to see if I could find a nursing program in Illinois for ex offenders. I am currently a teacher but I have been denied state certification from Illinois. I am certified in Michigan but Illinois will not accept me. I will have to leave my job here in Illinois any day now. I need another career fast and I consdiered nursing. However, so far I found out that felons need special approval before becoming a nurse. Felons get a bum deal every single time. It’s a no win situation.

Answer #3

I am also considering a career in nursing. I am also a convicted felon. please let me know if you come up with anything(c_rockmore@yahoo.com). It’s really hard for us but I still have faith so let’s not give up. GOOD LUCK!
