I will be enrolling in an LVN program in January. I have a petition for a declatory order I need to send to the TX BON. I received a DWI 3 years ago when I was a minor, and I have one pending now so stupid. I'm currently going to AA meetings and looking forward to being sober for the rest of my life. However, I am worried that the BON will deny me eligibilty to take the NCLEX and get my license. Has anyone or anyone you know been allowed licensure with 2 DWI's?

I was elligible fpr NCLEX with one DWI pending...no other priors and they approved me with zero stipulations...but from my understanding 1 DWI is seen as a common youthful indiscretion...a 2nd one is frowned upon like you didnt learn your lesson...it's a case by case basis and can take up t 45 days for an answer fron the BON unless it goes into review...they make grant u a license but with stipulations which is extremely hard to get hired with..or order you to do TPAPN...

Moved to criminal history for better response

Best of luck to you! Could you get a note (or something) from your sponser to give the bon if you needed it?
