You will need to see the admission rules from the nursing board to know whether felonies (specific or in general) may prohibit your license to practice nursing. A criminal law attorney may be able to advise you on sealing/expunging your record for the specific convictions; however, I believe you will still have to disclose the crimes to the nursing admissions board.
I recently saw on the news that many nurses with suspended licenses were petitioning the board for re-admission based on rehabilitation from past felony crimes (even including drug convictions and sex crimes). There was a mass board hearing in Tampa, and some kind of public outcry ensued about the nursing board allowing people with felony convictions to practice nursing. So, according to the news, nurses with felony convictions may be allowed to practice nursing.
