DUI and becoming a nurse?

Nurses Criminal

Published

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you could shed light onto my situation. I am a firefighter in Philly and I would like to go back to school to become a nurse, however, as the title states I have a DUI. Believe me, I learned my lesson and still feel so ashamed of what happened. Thankfully no one was hurt and I still have a job. I recieved a DUI June of 2010 and I am currently in PA's ARD program. Will this DUI and/or ARD program prevent me from ever becoming a nurse in PA? I emailed the State Board of Nursing for PA , but I'm still waiting for their reply. Im curious if anyone else has been in this situation or may have heard of the outcome. Thanx

I went to nursing school with a girl who had a DUI...before graduation our director wrote a letter of recommendation for the BON on her behalf & she was able to sit for boards & is a nurse

Hey I was wondering how everything went because im in a similar situation.
