Dwi

Oct 4, 200718 yr

Hi,

I recently recieved a DWI. I tested right at the .08 level. I was wondering what sorts of professional consequences I might face (e.g. license suspension, hiring problems, etc.)?

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear that. I believe we cannot give legal advice on this medium. Perhaps your BON could better answer your questions?

Sorry, I don't have more information for you.

i have known nurses who had a dwi and they retained the license but they went into a rehab or started on some kind of program

however i have known others who have lost their license, perhaps it was not their first, i didn't know all the details

good luck

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.
