Hi everyone from allnurses.

I had some news that made me very upset the other day. I found out that I got subpoena for a drunk driving case (not me but when someone blew a positive blood alchol above legal limit I had to draw blood from them to see the exact value I guess then it is all legalized). Well one of them I drew decided to plee not guilty now it is going to go into court and I get to testify (yay). Well the court was suppose to be today I got a call from a lady who said the court case got moved from today to march or april. Well the bad part is that is when I am in the bulk of nursing scool:angryfire . Now I have to miss a day because this guy drove drunk and wants to get out of it (or has some reason) but he still was driving drunk. I think that is rediculous to go to court for this. I have a possiblity of missing patho. pharmo. nutrition. adult health. adult health lab or clinical:angryfire :eek: :eek: :( . How would you even make up a clinical? Well thanks for listening everyone. Something that also makes me mad is I have to drive like 100 miles or so just to go to court.

One question how would you get out of a drunk driving besides if the cops did something wrong or if lab did something wrong (I don't think it is possible)?

PS. I think it is horrible all my time in court is work is 16 dollars a day! They also don't provide child care (not that I don't need it but 16 dollars wouldn't even take care of it). I am just really upset that I have a possiblilty of missing very important nursing courses for a reason like this. Well thanks for listening.

Awsome response. I think it is terrible that he was driving drunk and had over the legal limit. I just think it is pretty selfish to try fighting it. Driving drunk could hurt yourself but even more hurt your self. I will go and testify. I think no matter what I don't remember the guy since it was over a year ago. I have done like 30 of them I know the procedure and know it pretty well. Will go and answer all the questions and do my civil duty.

Good for you, thats the responsible thing to do. I had to do jury duty when I was in mircobiology, I showed my instructor my summons and was able to take my lab quiz the next week. I don't know if you can give a deposition and that might satisfy the attorney, but you could ask. If not talk to your nursing instructor way, way in advance and let them know, show the paperworke ect, they will probably make an arrangment for you.
