    It is not an automatic dis-qualifier, but it will hinder your efforts at finding employment. There are many in the nursing field who have had a felony conviction and got a (second chance). (generally from an addiction of some sort). In those cases, it’s normally where they networked with people within the field who they knew previously.

    Good Luck

    they tacked on felony for resisting arrest?

    man you should have had a lawyer.

    15 years is well past the time to get that dui expunged. As such after that is done no one will really know about it.

    I think it’s highly insane to tack on felony for resisting arrest though. I call that abuse of authority and power. [that kind of stuff makes my blood boil ]
