Dui/past mistakes and becoming a nurse

[mlind530]

Hi there, I have been stressing constantly about this and would so greatly appreciate any feedback. When I was 21 (about 4 years ago) I was going through a difficult time. Anyways, I received two duis within a few months of each other. I have been trying to get everything together and I recently obtained my arrest record for one of these duis. It is very damning. I told the cop I had two glasses of wine before going into an adult entertainment club (strip club) because I was nervous and I was considering working there. Pease don't judge me! I already know how bad this sounds. Well he wrote it all down in the report, saying I was drinking to prepare myself for an interview (all the dancers drink, it was not against the rules at these kinds of places!) and he listed my occupation as a dancer! This just isn't true. Like I said I was going through the hardest time in my life and was young and stupid. I have completely turned my life around, am a mother, rededicated my life to God, volunteer at the hospital, still attend AA and am going to school to be a cna but want to become an RN. Do you guys thing I don't even have a chance or should I try anyway because it is what I feel destined to do? Thank you for reading all this. Just really worried and stressed everyday.
