   The question asks "Do you have...?" The question does not ask "Have you had...?"

2. License application concern

   Tigerfly82 replied to NewgradRNOR's topic in Criminal

   ... If your states application doesn't care about expunged charges, you should be a-okay ?

3. License application concern

   Tigerfly82 replied to NewgradRNOR's topic in Criminal

   So, every documented run in you've had with the law is forever on your FBI rap sheet and the BRN background checks through the FBI. While old and/or dismissed/expunged charges may not show up on your local/state background they will definitely show u...

   Tigerfly82 replied to FutureNursingDude's topic in Criminal

   I would find a way to conduct a livescan...If you tell them no and it comes back on your federal background you're likely to be blacklisted

5. Need input please

   Tigerfly82 replied to Marco Sosa's topic in Criminal

   Recently I had to do a Livescan for a government position and I had forgotten the dates/reasons that my drivers license was suspended 15 years ago and I thought that was bad. You forgot about urinating in public and paying $1000 only 5 years ago. Th...

6. Step by step...what was your process of applying for NCLEX with a DUI on your record?

   Tigerfly82 replied to Furball12's topic in Criminal

   I applied 18 months ago. 10 weeks ago I took a settlement agreement for a DUI that's nearly 10 years old. I appreciate the boards screening for public safety but this process is causing me crippling depression. My only complaint is the amount of time...

8. A DUI is a BIG Deal.

   Tigerfly82 replied to Tigerfly82's topic in Criminal

   Right! The craziest part is that they tell you ONE DUI won't really hurt you- but anything more than that and you won't get a license, not in CA. That's what they told me anyways- back in 2008. No one can crucify you like the CA BRN - a career nearly...

   Tigerfly82 replied to Tigerfly82's topic in Criminal

   Well... way back when, when they offered me the settlement and I signed it and sent it back I thought I'd have a license soon. 10 weeks later, and almost 16 mos since I applied I still do not have a license. Word to the wise DONT DRINK & DRIVE!

    There doesn't have to be an "underlying issue" to make a mistake. Alcohol is part of American culture. Its really easy to go out and have fun drinking- it doesn't mean you are an alcoholic.

    Alcohol makes people feel less inhibited, that's the big deal. The problem is that it makes people feel less inhibited. So they may or may not do really stupid things. No telling.

    No, not an MD. A substance abuse therapist. I don't remember her title but she had a master's degree and runs a substance abuse program for the state.
