Decatur Woman Can Petition To Become Nurse Under New Law
A new state law will enable people with certain felony convictions to get a second chance to pursue careers in health care. Governor Bruce Rauner signed the legislation Thursday at Richland Community College in Decatur. That’s where local resident Lisa Creason earned a nursing degree in 2014, only to learn she didn’t qualify for an RN license because of a conviction nearly 20 years ago.
