Can a felon get a job in health care?

  Can a felon get a job in health care?


 Can a felon get a job in health care?Hi,

I was recently reading the previous post about the gentlemen who is trying to obtain his Certified Nurses Assistant license and the advice you gave. I think your blog is awesome and the links and information you give is inspiring and helpful because it allows felons to know that there is help out here just do not give up. The question I have is my husband is approaching being released and has a drug charge on his background. He has a his CNA license but they have expired. I was talking with him on yesterday and he is stating now that he wants to go to school to obtain his degree in X-Ray Tech. He is really excited and although I know that it is going to take a while to get but finding that type of work with a drug charge background to go into this field is it promising or should his career path be of a different choice. I do not want him to get his hopes up but I also do not want him to place all his eggs in one basket. We have recently moved to San Antonio, Texas, where the medical fields here are very promising but I do not know about felons.

I was hoping you may know if this career choice is something that he can continue to be in pursuant of or should he try and detour this decision to obtain something else and if so what. I know the criminal justice department is also very strict. I just do not want him to feel like a failure when something does not come through and hurt trying to provide for himself and family.

Thanks,

KW


Can a felon get a job in health care?



Hello,

Thank you for your kind words. It's great that you want to help your husband. Ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs need all the help they can get. I know of felons working in the healthcare field. You say that he held a CNA license, so your first step is to see if his conviction affected it. You can contact the medical licensing board in your state to find this out. If he wants to become an X-ray technician, I suggest contacting the same board to see if his conviction would prohibit him becoming certified for that position.

If it is not possible, I would then contact your local One-stop Career Center. There he will find job search assistance including training opportunities that are available and he is eligible for with his conviction. There are often government funds available to help individuals get training for new careers. One-stop Career centers have counselors that have experience assisting ex-offenders and felons looking for employment. As stated in a previous post, you can find your nears center here:

Felon with federal conviction needs employment

Felon with federal conviction needs employment


Felon
I was sent the following link http://www.howfelonscangetjobs.com/, so this is how I got your email address. I have a federal felony for marijuana from 2001. I am finding it really hard to get a job. I have had a few since I was convicted and served my time ten years ago. With the economy being what it is I was laid off from a steel company 12/08. I have had once job since and that didn't work out. So here I am once again looking for a job. My unemployment is almost expired and I'm finding it very difficult to find companies who don't do background checks. I don't think I can have this taken off my record due to it being federal. If you have any suggestions or help to offer please do so. I love office work and it's what I'm good at. I recently went to dental assisting school and graduated only to find out it isn't for me, so now the $10,000.00 I borrowed for school will be coming due soon.

I'm really frustrated...I understand I made a mistake back in 1998 and did my time and probation and I still have a black cloud over my head.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thank you


~Kat~

Felon with federal conviction needs employment



Hello Kat,

Felon with federal conviction needs employment
You are correct you have little or no chance of having this conviction removed. Expungement is not an option for federal convictions. As I mentioned in a previous post, often I suggest to ex-offenders and felons looking for employment is to apply at smaller independent temporary employment agencies. Often companies end up hiring their temporary help. Independent agencies don't have to deal with restrictions larger agencies may have placed on them by their parent companies as they relate to hiring ex-offenders and felons. They are free to hire anyone they choose. You can find listing in your local telephone directory and apply as you would any other job.

I also suggest that you apply for jobs using your resume and a well written cover letter. Often when you apply for jobs this way, your record may never come up.

I hope this helps

Felons with Withheld Adjudication can get Jobs
Dear madams or sirs,

I was charged back in 1998 or 1999 with a felony charge with a withholding adjudication. I was having many problems in my life and marriage. My charge was battery on a law officer. I did my five years probation and had several different kinds of therapy. I had finally gone back to school to become a medical assistant. I had explained this charge to them and I was told if it was over ten years old there should not be a problem. Basically, They lied. Now I have a loan to pay back and no job. I am 56 years old, a widow and thought I was doing something great for myself. One place that I had applied for a job told me that I could possibly get it exempted. Is this so or did I just waste the last year of my life for nothing. I was on the dean’s list and I only missed one day. Please is there someone there that can help me out or/and give me some advice.

DA

 Felons with Withheld Adjudication can get Jobs



Hello DA,

Felons with Withheld Adjudication can get Jobs
I'm not sure who "They" are but there are some things to know about Withheld Adjudication. Withheld adjudication broadly speaking, refers to a determination by a judge to put a person on probation without a judgement of guilt. There will be terms set by the court typically a fine and a period of probation. When the terms are met, the charges are generally dropped. There will be no conviction connected with that offense. If the person doesn't complete the conditions of probation, a ruling of guilty can] be entered and the person could be sentenced according to the penalties outlined for the offense.  Of course this is not legal advice.  For the exact determination of your particular situation, contact the prosecutor associated with your case.

So when completing an application that asks if you "Have you ever been convicted of a crime, you will be able to answer "no" and rightly so since you have not. Bear in mind that the charge will show on a background check as a charge and not a conviction. You should have no trouble with this. To absolutely certain of the status, you should check with the prosecutor or your probation officer associated with your case.

You should have no trouble getting certified if that is your only charge. Many ex-offenders and ex felons looking for jobs often need legal assistance. If you feel you need legal assistance, contact your local legal aid office. There you will be able to low-cost or even no cost legal assistance.

I hope this helps.

Felons, jobs and Deferred Adjudication

Felons, jobs and Deferred Adjudication

 

Felons, jobs and Deferred Adjudication  Please help! I found your blog online.

I'm currently serving 5yrs of probation for deferred adjudication (for felony case). I feel that I should contact the attorney that handled my case - because I recall my attorney saying that I either pay off my debt and be done with everything or pay while serving the whole 5 yrs of probation. I am still having a hard time finding a job. The majority of my work experience is in an office environment, with that in mind - no one will hire me! I have had tons of interviews, and I've been let down. I have some production/warehouse experience, but that's still not helping. I was told by my PO that I have the right to choose "No" when it comes to the question on any application asking "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" And, I choose "Yes" when it asks me "Have you ever been convicted and/or deferred adjudication." My background check comes up showing my felony. I'm still serving this probation until 2014, and my PO told me I have to wait until 2014 to try to remove this thing off my record. Now there was an increase in my probation fees from the original judgement. I could barely afford it much less paying more. I'm still not working. I moved back to Texas recently and started working for a small business (attorney's office) that didn't do background checks. So, I was with that office shortly while looking for another job, and then I had an excellent opportunity through an agency that paid more money, and I was guaranteed the pay rate increase and filled out the paperwork and I went through the interview. Everything went through and I was chosen for the position. And, the day I was going to start was the same day I received a call that my background disqualifies me from the job offer. I have not been convicted of any offense. I have already been to the Texas Workforce Center, and applied through them. Had more interviews, and continued to be rejected for numerous positions that I would qualify for - but it's the background check that hurts my job search. Please advise!
Felons, jobs and Deferred Adjudication

Thank you,

Bess



Felons, jobs and Deferred Adjudication



Hello Bess,

For those unfamiliar with Deferred Adjudication, in most cases, adjudication is withheld pending some other action, usually successful completion of the terms ( usually a fine and probation,) dismisses the case. If you successfully complete the terms, in most cases the charges are dismissed. When you complete the terms you will be given a document declaring the charges dismissed. In your case, the probation period is five years and that may present a problem until probation is complete. This will appear on background checks as a pending charge that sometimes will turn an employer off.

Felons jobs
As I often suggest to ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs to consider working as a temporary employee as a way of getting a permanent job. Temporary agencies are a great way to quickly get back into the working world. Many employers use agencies to try out new employees before hiring them. Good workers are hard to find. If an employer sees that you are hard working, punctual and fit in well, he may offer the job permanently.

The key to applying for temporary jobs for ex-offenders and felons is to apply at smaller independent agencies rather than large national companies. Small independent agencies have fewer hiring restrictions than larger national companies and are free to hire anyone they feel that can help them. You can get a list of these agencies in your local phone directory.

Once your probation is finished I suggest that you apply for expungement. This may help when it comes to background checks. Since expungement is a legal process, I strongly urge you to get professional assistance.

I hope this helps.

Felons join the Military

Felons join the Military


Felons join the MilitaryHello. My name is Yamile. How are you? I am 30 years old and was arrested for drug possession in 2002. In this one arrest they were charging me with 3 felony cocaine possessions and 1 misdemeanor marijuana possession (under 20 grams). The judge threw out 2 cocaine possessions (no action) resulting in only one felony and 1 misdemeanor. I had plead not guilty since the stuff was someone else's who threw it in my car so since it was my car and I was the driver, I was arrested. I completed a program which left the 1 felony and the 1 misdemeanor as nollo pros (both of them). I was not convicted. I had a car accident in 2001 and got the ticket. In 2008 I was stopped for supposedly running a stop sign which I fought and paid a 126 dollar fine. I've always wanted to join the military since I was 15 but didn't even bother going in when a recruiter over the phone (2008) told me I would never get in. Do I need a waiver for all 3 things? What is an approximate of my chances. This is killing me due to the fact that the army has been my lifelong dream and don't know if there is even a chance for me. Thank you for your time and your answer will be greatly appreciated.

Felons join the Military



Hello Yamile,

Felons join the MilitaryI believe your are referring to Nolle Prosequi. I am not a legal professional but in most cases, Nolle Prosequi is declaration made by a prosecutor in a criminal case or by a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit either before or during trial, meaning the case against the defendant is being dropped. The declaration may be made because the charges cannot be proved. To be absolutely certain, contact the prosecutor associated with your case.

Next, get a copy of your criminal record to be certain what is on it. The best record would come from the FBI.

Individuals can obtain a copy of their national criminal history record from the FBI by submitting a request to the address below. In order to receive a copy of your FBI record for personal, employment, or international work requirements the FBI requires the following:

1) A signed written request with a brief explanation for the request and your complete return
mailing address.

2) Each request must contain two completed applicant fingerprint cards with all of the applicant's
personal information (name, date of birth, place of birth, etc.) and a current set of 10 rolled
fingerprints and eight flat finger impressions. Fingerprints and impressions must be taken by a
local law enforcement agency.

3) An $18.00 fee in U.S. currency by certified check or money order payable to the United States Treasury. This information is provided in compliance with the U.S. Freedom of Information Act.

FBI
CJIS Division
ATTN: SCU, MOD.D-2
1000 Custer Hollow Road
Clarksburg, West Virginia 26303

For more information, you may contact the FBI at 304-625-3878

Felons join the Military
Once you get a copy of your criminal history, you can take it to the Army recruiter to see if you are eligible for a waiver that could make you eligible.

With so many ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs, the military may be an option.

I hope this helps.

Can felons with Withheld Adjudication get jobs?
Hi,

I am 26 years old and have never been arrested and I am currently in college pursuing a diploma in Allied Health and I was arrested in October for a felony under the wrong title of Unemployment Compensation Fraud even though I tried to explain that I never received any unemployment and showed letter stated the same stating ineligible it didn't matter. So when I went to court I was unable to afford a lawyer and had to settle for a public offender explained that the case was in reference to public assistance which I agreed to make payments because of a simple mistake of reporting a beginning date of employment. I was back and forth with communication with DCF explaining to them that I was no longer employed and a full time student but DCF reported not receiving payments and I was arrested. At court the defender told me State Attorney wanted to make a deal that I have no conviction, plead guilty but be withheld, pay restitution, and no parole and that it would not be on my record but I found out the hard way that it was because of my apartment complex that charge is showing as a FELONY..so my question is will I still be able to obtain employment even though I wasn't convicted but arrested because employers will only see FELONY.


Can felons with Withheld Adjudication get jobs?



Hello,

Can felons with Withheld Adjudication get jobs?
I'm not an attorney but it sounds like you have what is known as a Withheld Adjudication. In that case you may have to find out exactly what the conditions are. In most instances, once the conditions are met (typically a fine and probation,) the charges are dismissed. They will however appear on background checks as charges but not convictions. Anybody doing a background check (other than law enforcement,the court system, and government agencies) will only see the charges. Typically employers are only concerned with convictions and not charges. To be absolutely sure, contact the prosecutor associated with your case.

If you are still concerned with the charge, you may look into expungement. Many ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs seek legal assistance. I suggest contacting your local legal aid office to see if expungement is an option for you.

I hope this helps.

Does expungement help ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs

Does expungement help ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs?


Does expungement help ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs?Hello,

I am writing to find out is there any professional job that I can obtain because of the felony that I have from 2007? I have a Domestic Violence felony that I was convicted of in 2007 due to the fact that it was a dispute between me and my first wife. I am located in Texas and wanted to know, is it possible for me to get it expunge or sealed? Because I am relocating to Florida with my current wife and I have one course to finish to have my nursing licenses....I wanted to know if I get it sealed or expunge in Texas,. could I obtain my license in Florida? Or if I cannot get it sealed or expunge in Texas can I still obtain my license in Florida since it is a Texas Felony? I don't know how long I have to wait to get it expunge or sealed in Texas....I don't know the process to even start.

Does expungement help ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs?


Hello,

If your conviction is in Texas, a Texas court would have to expunge or seal it. There is a twist to expungementExpungement or sealing does not erase records but hides them from public view. If an expungement is granted the conviction will always be visible to government agencies, the court system and law enforcement. Licenses are granted by some level of government.

Many ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs seek legal assistance. I suggest contacting your local legal aid office first to see if expungement or sealing are viable options and then to get help applying for it. I would never try to do it alone.

Felon in Florida looks to expungement to get jobs


Felon in Florida looks to expungement to get jobs
I was convicted in the state of Florida for 5 counts of fraud I did my probation 2.5 (was given 5) paid restitution and now looking for work why is is that when an employer does a background check on me the status says active? Next I am in the process of trying to get this sealed/expunged. When that is settled will I be able to get a security license so I can work as a security guard or how about my RN license as I am currently in school working on that, am I wasting my time?


Thanks


Felon in Florida looks to expungement to get jobs



Unfortunately many people believe that sealing or expungement of records will erase their criminal records. In most cases and in most states, expungement means that their convictions will invisible to the public. The will always be visible to law enforcement, the court system and government agencies. Since most licensing is done through state agencies, expungement will not help them.

Many ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs seek legal counsel before the can start an effect job search just to see how their records will impact their ability to get jobs. I suggest contacting your local legal aid office to see just how viable an option expungement is for you. Next I would contact the agencies that issue the licenses you want to see if you are eligible.

Felon in Florida seeks career in health care


 Felon in Florida seeks career in health care
Dear Sir,

I bumped into this article on line. I'm from Sarasota Florida. I have two felony charges for drug possession. One is thirteen years the other eight years old. Will I be able to get my certification, or will I be denied because of these charges. I have completed all terms of probation years ago and have since turned my life around. Still I have much anxiety and guilt when I have to apply to any situation. I'm a wonderful person and have been in the home health business for a few years as a companion caregiver. Anything I can do?

Thanks much for your time.

 Felons may use expungement to get jobs
Hi,

I am seeking help! I am currently a Private Investigator and have been for two years. I was a corrections officer for ten years, and I have my associates degree in criminal justice. However, I ran into a problem and I am being charged with embezzlement and I am going to be a convicted of a felony. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get probation but don't know yet. I am subject to re-certification to be a private investigator and I know they are going to see this felony in my record now. I need help trying to find a new job, however as you can see my life has revolved around law enforcement what or where can I find a job?

K


Felons may use expungement to get jobs


Hello K,

You may not get convicted. If you are, you may have a professional career even with a felony. Because you have practical experience, you may consider teaching criminal justice at a community college or a private business or career school. They are all over because the criminal justice field is growing. Just watch daytime TV and you'll see what I mean.

 Felons may use expungement to get jobs
There is the chance that you will be convicted. Then your options will change.  There is a chance that your conviction will impact your ability to be re-certified.  If that is the case, you may look into having your conviction sealed or even expunged. Many ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs require a little legal assistance and expungement may be an option. The statutes regarding expungement or sealing of records vary from state to state so you should seek legal advice. Since expungement is a legal procedure, I would not encourage you to try it by yourself.  This is better done by a qualified legal professional that has knowledge of how they are done.  I suggest you get some advice from you local legal aid office. You may be eligible for no-cost or low-cost legal assistance.

I hope this helps

NC mom with a NJ felony charge needs job

NC mom with a NJ felony charge needs job

NC mom with a NJ felony charge needs job
Hi,

My name is Courtney. I received a charge in 2005 for signing checks. The total was either $400 or $600. I cannot remember without looking at the paperwork which is currently filed away. I spent about 4 1/2 months in the county jail waiting for a court date. Finally when my court date arrived, I was released and sentenced to 1 yr probation w/ fines which was all taken care of. My probation officer allowed me to complete the program early. I believe it was 10 months when I was done. I am really not sure of what the charge is, so I need to know how I can find out what the exact charge is, if it could be expunged and how I can get a job.

Please help.


 NC mom with a NJ felony charge needs job




Hello Courtney,

The easiest way to get a copy of your criminal record is from your probation officer. If that is not possible,
See the link below.

Career planning and counseling

Daily access to thousands of job listings

Job postings and referrals

Hello Bittani,

If you have a parole or probation officer, you could ask about others on his/her client list to see if and where they were able to get jobs. Probation and parole officers usually know of employers who have been known to hire ex-offenders and felons.

Since you have a theft charge, you may be more successful apply for jobs that do not involve the handling of money or valuables.

Another option is to apply for jobs at temporary employment agencies.  Temporary employment is a great way for felons to get jobs that may turn into more permanent employment.

I would also go to your local One-stop career center. Felons job searching can find a variety of services that could help them prepare for employment. Check out the video below:
