A: Hello Angela,

You did not mention what your offense is. Ex-offenders and felons cannot assume because they have criminal records, certain jobs are closed to them. The question is would your offense prohibit you from being licensed in the state of Ohio. Only the state board of Health can answer that.

You can contact the board here:

Ohio Department of Health
Nurse Aide Registry
246 N. High Street
Columbus, OH 43215

Telephone:
(800) 582-5908 (in-state)
(614) 752-9500 (out-of-state)

Fax: (614) 564-2461

I hope this helps.
