Nursing Careers for Felons |
My name is Lucien, I'm 40 yrs old and I'm a felon. In the year 2008 I was charge with corporal injury spouse and another person. I sadly walked into a moment of infidelity occurring in my home late night after a long week gone from home over the road truck driving. You can imagine what transpired after. Served 3.5 years, 1.5 yr parole and I obtained a divorce and left California.
I've been trouble free since my release in 2010 and kept working as a truck driver but I'm exhausted of this career. I'm interested in becoming a Nurse but I see and read so many stories of rejection that I become discouraged and continue my miserable unhappy life of truck driving. Websites are just so full of misleading information and discriminatory rejection.
What can I do and how do i go about pursuing the Nurse career In Nebraska and what steps should I take in becoming accepted and certified without the discriminatory rejection I normally encounter?
Please share some ideas, I sincerely appreciate your time and effort in reading this.....
Sincerely,
Lucien

Hello Lucien,
That's quite a story. I have students who are truck drivers and I know from them that drive long haul is difficult work. As far as becoming a nurse, I would first contact the the medical board in your state to see if you can be licensed with your conviction.
Secondly, if you cannot be licensed as a nurse, but you may be able to be licensed or certified as a Nurses Assistant or Medical Assistant.
Thirdly, if you can get licensed or certified with your conviction you will require training. There are many career schools out there that train for medical careers. Before you decide on a career school, ask to see their placement record. Find out how many of their graduates get placed from every class and where.
I hope this helps.
