Criminal Background
Criminal convictions may prevent an individual from obtaining a nursing license. The Oregon Board of Nursing can conduct a predetermination evaluation to see if the conviction would preclude licensure. They review each request on a case-by-case basis. Not all convictions will prevent a person from licensure.
Contact the Oregon state board of nursing if you need them to conduct such a review.
