I have been seeing several cases lately where an individual's actions as a teenager have come back to haunt him/her when they attempt to become licensed as a nurse. Frequently it is a felony offense and the individual may still be on probation for the action. I wanted to know if you think that crimes (I am referencing crimes such as possession of controlled substances or theft crimes, not murder or attempted murder) committed while a teenager should affect someone's ability to become a licensed nurse so I posted the poll to the right.
