Can someone with a conviction of a crime involving tampering with public records become an EMT-B or CNA ?

I have a friend that was convicted a few years ago in NJ for tampering with public records which was a crime in the third degree. They were sentenced to three years probation but was let go after only one year.



They want to become an EMT-Basic and also take a CNA (Certified Nursing Assitant) class. The state she is applying to get certified is different from hwere the conviction took place. She is applying for CNA in Florida and will be taking a class in Indiana for the EMT then transfer it to Florida.



Now I know there is a waiver avilable if they can deem it will not endanger the general public or welfare.



Can my friend get a certification with these convictions? Does she have to disclose out of state convictions?



She cannot expunge the records for five more years. Anyone else know about this?Can someone with a conviction of a crime involving tampering with public records become an EMT-B or CNA ?
I know of people in Ohio that have minor convictions and are still EMT-B. However they had to apply to the Ohio Board od EMS and a special hearing was held.



Most places these days do a background check. I'd hate to go through all that schooling and not be able to get hired or certified.



I'd let all parties know and work with them on it.
The short answer is yes. There is a minimal background check for both. As long as you are not a rapist, murderer, etc they should be fine. However, you should post the story about the tampering. That is hilarious.Can someone with a conviction of a crime involving tampering with public records become an EMT-B or CNA ?
I don't think this will preclude her training and being but I'm not sure she can be licensed and an employer will certainly take a dim view on hiring anyone convicted of tampering with public records. She also may not be able to be insured by the companies insurer, you would need to check with the insurers policies.Can someone with a conviction of a crime involving tampering with public records become an EMT-B or CNA ?
I know in the state of PA you cannot get any funding for CNA if you are a felon...even if your record is expunged it will still turn up on the background check.

Pa will not fund a felon in any medical field due to the background check, because employment possibilities are slim to none. Going out of state to try to escape your criminal past will not work for the medical field is one that involves people and they will run a nationwide background check. You can run but you cannot hide. If she really wants to be a CNA, she can go to a home and speak to a supervisor usually an Rn and explain her criminal history, usually if it is not a drug charge they will hire you and train you.....just don't go to the state for any kind of funding.
