Can registered nurse convivted of felony still keep her license?


First time conviction of felony-no other criminal record. Is it psossible to keep her license at all?Is there any precedence where one was allowed to keep the license?She did not kill a patient but was caught with mail fraud. if not where can she find another job suitable for her education level?

Has her license already been revoked? I do not believe she is going to lose her license. In any case, she can always apply to reinstate it. She will have to show rehabilitation. But if she will be persistent, she will reinstate her license. Check with the State Board of Registered Nursing.

a felony will affect the staus of the liscence....but it can be reinstated after a certain number of years...the number of years varies from state to state...she or he should contact the nursing board.....

i doubt it

Sounds like a review board question. My knee jerk response is: if the felony was not related to care giving and if no person was injured as a result of the nurses action(s) that led to the conviction, then the nursing license should be secure.

Finding a job is another matter. I'm in a similar situation. A masters of science and years of experience...out of work for almost 4 years now. I pray you don't suffer a similar fate. Good luck! Maybe another city or state? Some volunteer work in a charity clinic to establish some references?
