Re: felony charges

It depends. It is not up to the prosecutors, but rather the Department of Health and the Board of Nursing. I have represented doctors and nurses before the Board of Health before, and they are usually amenable to negotiations in order to preserve your license.

If you would like to discuss the matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you are merely charged then probably not, but if you are convicted then you may have a problem with the nursing board. Charges for theft are particularily problematic.
