Can a convicted felon become a medical doctor, nurse or dentist in Illinois...Non violent offense?
I just recently applied to get into the dental hygiene program in my local area. Right on the web site and in all of the paperwork that they have sent me states that if I have a criminal background that I would need to obtain legal guidance to see if I could continue onward. Since each state is different, my suggestion to you is to check out the states licensing board and see if they can provide you a legal resource if you do not have one.
Can you be a dental hygienist with a misdemeanor of retail fraud?
I honestly don't remember anything about prior convictions when it comes to the schooling, and then licensing for hygiene. I know that you have to report any convictions while you are practicing as a hygienist to the state board that you are practicing in. Was the conviction a felony to begin with and you pled it down to a misdemeanor? This may be a different circumstance all together. Contact your local hygiene school and ask them. Good luck.

Dental Hygiene school low GPA for prerequisites?
Any advice for me? i'm 24 and Its been my dream to become a Dental Hygienist. I have completed all Dental Hygiene prerequisites with an accumulative GPA of 2.4, but have 5+ years work experience in the dental field and am attending Dental Assisting school right now. I have a 4.0 in DA school and am on the deans list and have been recommended to be a tutor in my program. So the deal with my pre-req GPA is that while i was taking those pre-reqs my dad was convicted of a crime, he was sexually abusing my brother and sister (my family had no knowledge of this), he was the only income of our household and he went to prison. At this point I had to take on two jobs to help support my family and in turn my grades suffered. I got C's in 4 of my science classes and 1 B. I have been applying for hygiene for two years now, this fall will be my third and I just feel like I've been fighting a battle that cant be won. I want this beyond belief and that is why I have gained experience and knowledge in the field by seeking jobs that could benefit me getting into hygiene schools. That is also why I am attending DA school and doing very well in it. Any advice would be much appreciated! Sincerely, Defeated.
Physical Therapy Assistant drug related arrest?
Most states will not let you get licensed with a felony. If it gets expunged, you may have a chance. I would contact the state you want to get licensed in.
Can you become a medical billing coder if you have a misdemeanor conviction?
I've been in the medical field over 20 years, having served as an Office Manager for five. I have been teaching medical front office and medical billing and coding for five years. I don't recall ever asking anyone about misdemeanor convictions. I do recall the applications asking about felonies. So, no the misdemeanor conviction will PROBABLY not hurt you, depending upon what it was for. It might hurt you if it was for drug possession. However, what could hurt you is a low credit score of if something weird comes up on your back ground check. Some employers are picky because you will be dealing with money. Also some are not happy with a bankruptcy. Now if they do a background check I believe you are allowed to request a copy, at least in CA.
Can a Class B Misdemeanor prevent you from having a job?
legally has nothing to do with it, it is entirely up to the employer if they hire you or not
Why are people given prison sentences of one year and a day? Why not just a year? Why the rhetorical flourish?
Because the crime is classified as a felony.A felony is defined in the US federal system as a crime punishable by a sentence of death or imprisonment by over one year. Specifically, a crime punishable by imprisonment for less than five years but more than one year is a Class E felony. See 18 U.S.C. § 3559(a)(5).If punishable by a sentence of exactly one year, the crime is considered a Class A misdemeanor. See 18. U.S.C. § 3559(a)(6).A person who commits a felony is a "felon." A person who commits a misdemeanor is a "misdemeanant."http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscod...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony
Theft and becoming a nurse assistant? Please help..?
Just a little background, criminal disqualifying convictions that barr potential employees from employment in long-term care facilities are in state law. Most, if not all states has these laws, of course some have more on the list than others. The full list of offenses that disqualify one from working with the elder can be found http://www.odh.ohio.gov/~/media/ODH/ASSE... . Theft is actually on the list, and it is defined in Chapter 2913.02 under http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2913.02 . So it would be important to know specifically how the charge is written in your criminal background check, because that will make the difference in whether they can or cannot hire you based on the state law for disqualifying offenses for employees of nursing homes. Also, keep in mind that every nursing home has its own corporate or individual policy on whether they will hire employees with criminal background findings, and some have more stringent requirements than the state regulatory requirements. It is unique to each nursing home and up to their discretion on who they want to hire. As far as your friend, it all depends on how her crime is listed in her criminal background check. Sometimes, for example, individuals are charged with higher level crime but during plea agreements their charges are down graded to a lower level if they plead guilty, for example. So it is no telling really what is on her criminal background check. I know you didn't ask for advice, but just throwing this out there based on my experiences: Just a bit of advice, if you are interviewed for positions in nursing homes, ensure you really think through what to respond to if you when they ask you about your charges. I think the best manner you want to take is to show the employer you acknowledge you made a bad mistake, that you have learned from your mistake and that you have changed your life. I would not get into the fact that it was only "petty" theft, or that you were young or that you had financial problems and that is why you stole. The reason is you will be opening up a can of worms........the employer will deduce that you excuse your behavior due to age, you have had financial problems and could potentially steal from residents and that you feel "petty" theft isn't as bad as other theft so perhaps taking $5 dollars from a resident wouldn't be as bad to you.
