Depends on the specific crime. For example, if you were convicted of a felony involving medicaid fraud. This may not stop you from working as an Lpn however it may restrict you from providing any care/duties that would cause payment from medicaid/medicare. An Lpn would be hard pressed to found an abundance of jobs w/o involvement of medicaid/medicare reimbursements. Potentially you could be permanently restricted from working in specific fields such as home care or supervisory positions. So it's not impossible but you will find many obstacles and road blocks. If you are not already a nurse, it may be difficult to get into a nursing program due to the criminal background check.

A felon can not work at all in the medical field. I use to work in the medical field and now I am going to school for criminal justice. I know a few people who just  got it for domestic violence and they have their licences taken away and can not work as a CNA, LPN< or RN because of the crime.
