While some states have passed laws to keep people with criminal convictions from clinical settings, more healthcare employers are hiring ex-cons into entry-level positions, according to an an article on the HCPro website.
Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Hospital has been willing to hire former offenders since the late 1990s, when certain positions became difficult to fill.
A five-year Johns Hopkins study found that former offenders were more likely than non-offenders to stay in their jobs longer than three years.
Similarly, a Northwestern University study published last year found that workers with criminal pasts were no more likely to be fired than were their coworkers with clean records, the article said.
