I have a record with 2 convictions from 11/12 years ago. I was granted my LPN degree by the state of PA. after the convictions.  I had a job for several years then one day I was asked if I knew about the convictions. I said "yes, it's on my record check and I told the DON about them at my interview". Then, afew weeks later I went over her head to the medical director on a certain matter and from then on she rode my tail on everything.  Then, she made accusations that I withheld medications from patients. there was an investigation, I was fond not to be a perpetrator in the incident by the Area Agency on Aging, the Dept. of State Board of Nursing, and at my request a polygraph,with "No deception indicated" as the results. Now I have been looking for a job for 2 years now. I don't lie about my past, I do have several letters of recomendation and a flexable schedule. NO one will hire me, or tell me why not. I am an excelent nurse nd have alot of experience. I did learn alot as far as trying to get along with co-workers. Does anyone have any advise as to how I might find a nursing job even though I have a record. HELP, THANK YOU.

I have looked into an expungement, however from what an attorney told me, I don't qualify for an expungement in PA. possibly a pardon. I am looking into that now.

Hiya, I wasn't telling you to be dishonest.. What I was talking about was that facility may have black balled you.. That takes years to lose.. Sorry if I said it incorrectly..Best of luck on your pardon.. Please keep us posted..   Teresa
