Colorado criminal background documents

So I had a dui with an accident 6 years ago. I submit the police report, the court papers showing what my punishment was (license suspension and I got PTI for the accident which was a felony but dismissed when I completed the PTI), I wrote an explanation letter explaining what happened, how I regret it and how I’ve made changes in my life. I also had a couple of my instructors that I made aware of my background write me reference letters. Also, if you completed any type of rehab or IDRC I would send that also. I got mandated by the court to complete a 2 day IDRC class so I just asked them for a letter that I was compliant and confirming the date I was there and I sent that. I’m in NJ but I’m guessing the process is similar for all states. Took about a month, but I was issued an unrestricted license. Trust me, I know it’s embarrassing but I’m sure the board has seen many things. I was super embarrassed and ashamed of what I did, but nurses like everyone else are human and make mistakes too at the end of the day! I hope this helps, prayers for you!

I’m in CO. I had a dui in 2019, while I was in my second semester of nursing school. I submitted a copy of the ROA, final sentencing, DUI class and therapy completion, MADD VIP certificate, Community service completion form, and masterdrive class completion.

My police report was also horrible and I did not want to submit, so I didn’t. I was planning to if they requested it, but the board made me do a MSE interview with the Peer Assistance program, and no one ever asked for it.

I had to wait about 2 months after taking the NCLEX, but I ended up with an unrestricted license.
