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.

A felon can get any job he or she is qualified for as long as you disclose the fact that you are a felon on your application.  You have to be upfront about it. Hiding it will get your application tossed in the trash.  State reasons why you would be an asset to that company.  Remember to state how you are not that person anymore, and you have been rehabilitated and won't be getting into any more trouble - and then stick to it! \n\nIt is against the law to not hire someone based solely on the fact that they are a felon, but of course it happens anyway. If you get the interview after they read on your app that you are a felon, you have a fair employer and a good shot at the job.  Be honest though so as not to waste your time with a potential employer who would not hire you.  If you get the interview and you're qualified for the job and present yourself in a professional manner you have just as much chance at any job as anyone. \n\ngood luck

no, you will still be issued the nursing license but you may be required to participate in a diversion program.

It wiil show up.Just look for jobs that only ask if you have been convicted in the last 5 or 7 years.That way you can say no.Also,you can just put down that you'll discuss it in the interview,then ask for one.I had the same problem,but it can be worked around.Besides,I wouldn't want to work anywhere the wouldn't excuse past mistakes.What is important is what you are doing now,and how the experience can be used to benefit others.It doesn't have to be a negetive.Look for jobs that your experience can be used to your advantage.I became an Addictions Counselor.Now I make $70 per hour,per person,and I don't do  groups smaller than 20 people.That's $1400 an hour,three times a week,and insurance pays it.Not bad for a convicted felon,huh?So use this to your advantage,it can be done.Don't give up,and good luck to you.

It is certainly legal.  This does not depend on the good nature or honesty of the person, namely being upfront about it.  If policy states that no one with a felony may be employed, then when the felony happens, at that moment the person may no longer be employed, period.

Yeah, unless you're a minor! I think it's still a felony but you go to kiddy court!\n\nhttp://www.total-knowledge.com/~willyblues/

To answer your question:  MAYBE!\n\nDepends on the type of felony, how long ago was it, has it been discharged (no longer on probation, etc) and...depends on the RECRUITER also.\nMy friend's kid just signed up for the Army, he had a "young and dumb" felony, too, but he'd served his time. They made him take 3 "college level classes" (he went to a jr. college for that) before they'd sign him up. He's doing very well now.\n\nGood luck to your friend, and god bless the men and women in our armed forces EVERYWHERE!

Absolutely a paralegal can have a felony record.  Lawyers are held to higher standards.  Before being admitted to practice, a lawyer's history must be reviewed by an ethics board.  It is not unheard of to admit lawyers to practice when they have a felony record.  It really all depends on on the type of felony.  If the felony has to do with stealing money or something similar like a breach of fiduciary duty, the lawyer has a slim-to-nill chance of being admitted to practice.

Yes, that is not a job that has any restrictions on felonies/misdemenor or anything of the sort. However, your employer might not like it if you are a sex offender or drug lord, right? Thats up to your employer.

your job can be in jeopardy if you refuse to follow a reasonable instruction. it may depend on why you didn't go in. were you sick, did you not have childcare available, was there a sale at the mall you wanted to go to, were you just lazy? they would probably pay you overtime or give you an alternate day off. the patients are their primary concern. if they feel you are not a team player and that you don't care for the health and safety of the residents, they may decide they don't want you working there.

Absolutely it can.  Many places now ask on applications whether or not you've been convicted of a felony.  There are laws against discrimination, but companies can find lots of excuses of why they didn't hire you.\n\nThat said, not all companies discrimate and you can still find a fabulous job.  I would be open and upfront about my past if the company asked about it on the application because if they hire you and find out later that you lied on the application, it could cost you your job.

An expunged felony will not be on the public record that any employer can see if doing a work related background check.\n\nIt will remain in the national data base and can be viewed by police officers and anyone doing a national security clearnace on you.\n\nThe report that they can see will even show every arrest even if not indicted or convicted.

depending upon the charges some police records are expunged at the age of 16 so you may or may not be able to pursue a career in one of these fields depending on exactly what the felony charges were.

Most likely, yes.  Depends on your situation, but I'd suggest checking your employee handbook, if you have one.\n\nIf you are an employee-at-will (non-contract), then what you've effectively done is agreed to work on their terms.  Those terms are generally detailed in an employee handbook of some kind - you know, the one most people throw into the back of some drawer and forget about.  If their terms include proof of illness for sick days taken, there's nothing illegal about it.

All state license veterinarian to practice veterinarian medicine. Not licensed practice is felony in most state. \nAll veterinarians since 1999 make a following oath "Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health, the relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge.\nI will practice my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement of my professional knowledge and competence."\nComplains against veterinarian are either heart by the licensing board or by the board of ethics depending on the state law.
