1. Nursing School and a DUI

   HopeRules replied to NattieWattie's topic in Criminal

   Get it expunged. Otherwise it may impede your ability to be accepted at clinical sites. It will also help you with jobs in the future. Use the maximum legal remedies your state allows. It looks responsible to the board and it will increase your abili...

2. About to start pre-nursing program and had a DUI 11 years ago, should I continue?

   HopeRules replied to Joacas's topic in Criminal

   Joacas, No one else can answer your question. It is your decision. If you are applying in Florida I think you will have an easy time getting your license. It really depends on the state. California is known to be among the worst. If your DUI was a m...

3. Denied R.N. License after NCLEX

   HopeRules replied to Erational's topic in Criminal

   Agree that OP should wait the three months. It's really no time at all. Disagree it is "deceitful". The only way it is deceitful is if the OP lied about it. The OP has said he/she disclosed it. Absolutely not deceitful. It is looking at legal opti...

4. Denied R.N. License after NCLEX

   HopeRules replied to Erational's topic in Criminal

   KelRN215, BSN, RN, I think you are correct that the OP has to complete probation prior to being issued a license in any state. I have not checked all the states but that seems reasonable. Frankly, three months is nothing. I don't agree that the OP ...

5. Armor Correctional Healthcare: Will an Expungement record show

   HopeRules replied to daniellepittman's topic in Criminal

   TriciaJ, RN, The meaning of "expungement" can vary from state to state. You are correct that a "true" expungement would delete all the records. Many state licensing boards, for example, still want you to let them know about expunged records. There ma...

6. Denied R.N. License after NCLEX

   HopeRules replied to Erational's topic in Criminal

   I think the OP has lived with the consequences. He/she is simply trying to research the best option for his/her life and career. This is the intelligent and moral thing to do as we affect our families as much as we do ourselves. People fail to realiz...

7. Armor Correctional Healthcare: Will an Expungement record show

   HopeRules replied to daniellepittman's topic in Criminal

   Hi again, I reread your post carefully. Who hasn't had a traffic violation? Wow, I will never apply there. Unless, they just want you to disclose your record as an honesty test. Traffic records stay around almost indefinitely. Anyway, good luck.

8. Armor Correctional Healthcare: Will an Expungement record show

   HopeRules replied to daniellepittman's topic in Criminal

   Hi, First, I hope that isn't your true name you are using. If so, please change it right away for your sake. Second, I have never applied or know anything about that specific employer. I can only told what I know or have "heard" from others. Often o...

9. Currently on DUI Probation with a recent ADN Degree

   HopeRules replied to rambo33's topic in Criminal

   rambo33, You could do a search for the florida BON and read their instructions. You can apply in any state and take your NCLEX here in California. I would research several states and make sure you want to move there first. I am not sure but .15 mig...

10. CA BRN DUI Experience as a practicing nurse

    HopeRules replied to TitoG's topic in Criminal

    TitoG, I think you will be treated "like a drug addict" with all the associated monitoring. There is a one-size-fits-all approach to the board's methods which can unfairly punish people excessively. It is what it is. If you have been a nurse for ove...

11. Closing a CA BRN DUI Complaint/Investigation

    HopeRules replied to countryroad's topic in Criminal

    countryroad, I replied previously but for some reason it never showed up. It seems like you have a good plan. Thank you for sharing this story and please update so as to help another that may be in this kind of predicament. I wish great things for ...

12. Application denied by California BRN

    HopeRules replied to CaliCalinurse's topic in Criminal

    CaliCalinurse, I'm sorry you have not yet heard anything about your license. Why do you think (if you have any idea) why you were only offered a probationary license in light of AB Bonta 2396?

13. ca brn

    HopeRules replied to ashhhnm's topic in Criminal

    ashhhnm, If the lady from enforcement told you that - hopefully you will have no problems. I don't know of an attorney and if I did tell you this post would be subject to the TOS policies on this website. I do know that there is a group called TAANA ...

14. ca brn

    HopeRules replied to ashhhnm's topic in Criminal

    Hi ashhhnm, I would consult an attorney who specializes in dealing with the BRN immediately. Your issue is probably not that it was reduced (assuming that was the case) but that it was an alcohol related conviction. (It doesn't matter to them if it w...

15. Expungement and Fingerprinting

    HopeRules replied to ginna88's topic in Criminal

    Did you get them expunged recently or a long time ago? Do you know if there is a time table between the processing of your expungement and the process of the courts updating the expungement? Sometimes it is 60-90 days. It might depend on the court o...
