DUI in CA: I am in the clear

[clckwrkorange]

This post is for those also have a misdemeanor. All nurses message board helped me gather a lot of information, granted some of the posts on here scared me to the point that I had decided to leave CA for good, but i changed my mind and decided to fight for it.

I want to say that I read a lot of posts about people who were denied a nursing license or were delayed, placed on probation, and i would like to inform you guys that none of that happened to me.

Here is the summary:

DUI from 2013, then i started nursing program out of state, i am still finishing the program and i applied in may 2015 for boards. I received their letter today saying that the board will not be taking any action against me.

More about me: first offense, just above legal limit blood alcohol level, i wrote a letter explaining my conviction where I think i did up to 10 different drafts because i couldn't get it across on paper how remorseful i was and how stupid i was for driving drunk. So i kept editing it with the help of a good friend who grilled me to make it stand out more and more. I don't know what did the trick, if it was my letter or a combination of my recommendations from nursing professors and a doctor, plus a previous employer also in nursing field.

This is to let whoever is reading this: Don't get discouraged, the scary stories about CA brn might be outdated, as they processed my stuff in just three months!!
