Advice for moral character reference letters

[StudentM2021]

Hi all,

NYS - I shared here before that I have 2 misdemeanor DWIs.  I just graduated nursing school in May, passed NCLEX, have a job lined up, and am currently in the moral character review process with NYSBON.  I need to get 3 letters of reference in total (2  from instructors at school), my concern is that I was in school throughout covid meaning our clinical were cut short leaving little time for instructors so vouch for my skills, also the instructors I ask need to be aware of my history and I can only think of 1 that is which is the director of the program (I disclosed this information to her at the start of the program).  I don't know how to go about asking her or another instructor for a letter and am embarrassed to disclose this part of my past. I did get sober and can get letters to attest to that however I think the letters they really want to see are from my instructors.  Any advice?

You just have to put your pride to the side and ask. Inform them you are up for moral character review and disclose the information. No way around it as the investigator will ask them if they know or not. Best wishes I’m going through the same thing
