First public drunk charge, May graduation

[missy423]

I live in Mississippi and received a public drunk charge a few weeks ago. My record is clean beside that, and I have a court date on January 8th. I graduate from my BSN program in May and looking to find my first job in Nashville, TN. I was wondering if anyone else has had a public drunk charge and if they would mind sharing how it effected the NCLEX process and finding a job.

I am already talking to a lawyer about getting it expunged, but he said they could take up to a year.

Thanks so much!

@missy423 hey! I also live in Mississippi and graduate from nursing school in December! We are starting to apply and submit our application now.

I also have a public intoxication charge from 2 years ago..... can you tell me what was the process of applying to the board of nursing?? What documents did you have to turn in?? And how was your apology letter?
