LVN just finished ADN program but I have a DWI!

Nurses Criminal

Published

I am currently an LVN and have been since 2009. In 2013, I was charged with (and later convicted) a DWI in the state of Texas. I just completed an ADN program so all I need to do is take my test. But in my application, I didn't mention my charge because I hadn't finished my stipulations for probation so I didn't have any documents to turn in. My LVN license expires in late June so I'm going to have to figure out what I need to do to get my application in and be able to work! What do I do? What do I say in my letter to the TBON? Help, please!

The best and really only advice I can give is to contact the BON and ask them what the proper steps are. You might find the information on their website and if not there should be a way to contact them directly to ask.
