Anyone with 2 DUI's? ? ? Please help....

Hi everyone. I need to ask this question to see if anyone has an answer. This des not have to do with me directly but me and a friend were accepted into a nursing program for Fall 2009 . I am asking this because this friend of mine recently confesed that he has 2 recent DUI's on his record! I was very upset becasue after countless hours of studying with him through micro, now he tells me he might not be able to continue with nursing RN program. I honestly do not have any real idea on what the California BRN is going to decide on his case once he sits for the NCLEX, but my guess is that he should stop now and not contunue to waste my time (by stydying with him) and anymore of his money by going through an expensive ELM program. Does anyone have any experience with DUI's on their record while they were going through nursing school? How hard is it to get licensed? I wish him the best of luck but really I am upset because I feel like Ive been wasting my time with someone that made some seriously wrong decisions (2xs). Any input on this will be greatly appreciated.....
