I just want to share my experience with the CA BRN with you guys since I lurked this site often, and reading others post about getting a license with a criminal background. I had a DUI in February 2014 at a DUI checkpoint near my house. Blew a 0.16 on a breathalyzer; but blood level was 0.21 on toxicology report. Here's a quick timeline of the events: -August 18, 2014 - Convicted of misdemeanor DUI (Had to do 9 months of DUI school and 9 months of Vehicle breathalyzer) -June 2016 - Accepted into an LVN to RN bridge program -June 1, 2017 - Submitted my application to the BRN -June 8, 2017 - Mailed all the necessary paperwork to the BRN. This included a copy of my online application; Letter of explanation; Court Documents; A letter explaining that the Arresting Agency would not give me a Certified Arrest Report; Recommendation letters from 2 of my nursing professors. Recommendation letters from 2 of my church pastors; 1 letter from my old D.O.N.; and a letter from the owner of the SNF that I'm currently working at. -June 16, 2017 - Graduated from RN program -August 18, 2017 - Completed my 3 year probation with no problems. -August 21, 2017 - Classmates got their ATTs -August 24, 2017 - A classmate with a 10 yrs old expunged DUI got his ATT. September 2017 - I haven't heard from the BRN and my BreEze application date hasn't changed. I was a little worried at this point. -September 5, 2017 - My BreEze RN application disappeared. This meant they were reviewing my application. -September 11, 2017 - My BreEze RN application reappeared and application date has changed. -September 13, 2017 - Got my ATT email from Pearson. This was a good news but I was still worried since I have not gotten the mail from BRN stating they would not pursue any disciplinary action. I heard of people passing NCLEX and getting denied of a license by the Boards. -September 14, 2017 - Received the good news mail from the Boards. I hope this timeline will help anyone who is going through the same situation as I did. I didn't go to any addiction specialist or psychiatrist for evaluation. The only rehabilitation I did was the court ordered DUI program and AA classes.

Was your conviction expunged?
