PBCC CONFUSED


Hi all I am new here but I have a confusing question. I just got accepted into the Lake Worth nursing program.
I have 1 DUI felony in 2001, I was just told by PBCC that I cannot appeal and I cannot start the program. I called the Florida State Board of Nursing in Tallahassee and they just told me that the only way you cannot get a license in the state is fraud, drug posession and child molestation. However before you apply for your license you have to complete the nursing program.

I am totally confused now, so the state and the school have seperate laws??? Do I need to call FAU?? Can anyone give me advice please. I have worked so hard for this, I haven't even had a speeding ticket since 2001.

Default Re: PBCC CONFUSED
Moved to the Nursing with a criminal history forum

Questions we seem to be encountering more and more often have to do with the effects of a criminal history on nursing licensure:

Is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a criminal history?
Is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a MIP, DUI, or other related charges?
What happens if you are charged or convicted of a crime after licensure?
Can I go to nursing school and/or be licensed if my record has been sealed or expunged?
Will I be able to go to nursing school with a criminal record?
What can happen if I receive a MIP/DUI/DWI or other charge while still in school?

These are questions that the members of allnurses.com cannot answer. The only reliable source of information is your State Board of Nursing.

Each is dealt with on an individual case
