With a drug conviction, you're not going to be able to receive  federal financial aid--student loans, PELL grants, etc--so if you're trying to become a nurse-midwife, you're limited from the beginning, (unless you have your own money).  Lay midwifery training and requirements vary wildly from state to state and can even be difficult to track down.  In Illinois, for example, it's a criminal--criminal!--offense to practice lay midwifery, but in Texas it's absolutely legal and a certification process is in place.  I haven't been involved with any of this stuff for quite a while, but I recall there is at least one national midwifery association that you might consult.  My guess is that the website for the Association of Texas Midwives would have a link to other organizations.

Absolutely not. Your medical records are private. You can press charges against your employer in a court of law.

Maybe. Depends on where you live. In Canada it takes about 10 years to get a pardon for minor drug crimes. Don't know about the states... England I believe is similar to Canada...

If you were convicted of a VIOLENT crime, then No.  But if you are on parole for a NON Violent crime, then maybe.  You just need to go to a recruiter and ask.

You might be able to get in with a P3, but it will be hard. If joining up is something that you feel the need to do, and you are fairly confident that it will not bring about a relapse, get ahold of your med records, things have a tendencey to fall out of them from time to time. I am not saying you should falsify your records, I am just saying you could check.

It's actually none of their business what you're taking.  Antidepressants don't show up on drug screens because they're not looking for them.  I've never had a problem with it.  And it's illegal for them to ask about it.  Just don't mention it and it won't be an issue.  And it's discrimination agains those with mental health disorders to not hire you just because you're taking antidepressants.\nGood luck on your interview!\n-Duo

Again, any crime you committed as an adult will show up on a national criminal history, dismissed or not.   I know this as I have been on the job for 24 years.\n\nNow, as for if they hire you or not... That can only be answered by them.  Every entity has their own hiring policy.

you can't inlist if you have a criminal record anymore.\n\nThere are adult learning centres everywhere, do a search online and find one near you.

depending on the conviction they law society may or may not admit you - see www.lawsociety.org.uk. This is important as to be a solicitor or even study law you gotta be a member. I wouldnt even worry about firms offering you jobs until you have spoken to the law society as if they say no there is nothing you can do.  Generally though unless its only a driving offence youre gonna struggle.\n\nI will be fully qualified next year and although I didnt have too much trouble I know lots of people who are still looking for training contracts so even if you do get in its a long road ahead. \n\nIf the law society do say no you could always become a legal executive (governed by the institute of legal executives - I think they are less strict)\n\n\nSorry probably not what you want to hear. \n\nGood luck whatever happens.

Depends on your work background and experience. Also if you have any thing on your public record, arrests, drug convictions, or any thing related, it is possible that you will have trouble getting a job of that caliber. \n Good Luck!!

It isn't like they are going to hire you and then do a background check years later.\n\nThe only people who might do that would be if you worked for the government or for government contractor or were in any way a candidate for needing a clearance.\n\nIf none of those, I'd leave it out.\n\nPersonally I think after 10 years of a spotless record  you should be able to clean your record of anything short of murder anyway.

In the UK you will be checked out if you want to work with children, whether paid or voluntary.  \n\nOne of my relations has just been through the check up for criminal records because she has been asked to help with the Scout's Association.  She has no criminal record or cautions but still has to go through that process.\n\nHope that helps

We have a lot of doctors from overseas working here. So its not impossible. But why would you want to work in the UK with the health service failing so badly right now. You could work in the private sector I guess so suggest you get in contact with someone like BUPA.

Don't think so....\n\nHospitals are looking for workers in the following areas:\nEnvironmental \nNutritional Services\nClerical\nPatient Transport\n\nTo qualify for any of these positions, you should have a stable work history (for instance, more than one year at a previous position), no felony or at risk misdemeanor criminal convictions, be able to pass a drug screening test, and a positive attitude.

In the UK, you need good grades in your A levels (generally AAB) or highers (at least AAABB), you must have chemistry as one of them, plus one other science subject. You need to apply to university to study medicine, which will take 5 years, then when you graduate you try to get a job as a junior doctor in obstetrics and work your way up to consultant level from there. However, the vast majority of obstetricians in the UK are joint obstetricians and gynaecologists.\n\nMedical school is LONG and HARD.......but it's worth it if that's what you want to do. Get your head down and get good grades in your highers/A levels and good luck.
