Hi, Attention all my post block 3 students! I was wondering who can tell me what concepts did you guys go over for each body system in med surg ll for block 3? Furthermore what concepts did you focus on for the OB portions?

Hi Angel! I am in my first semester of nursing school and I currently have a pending DUI conviction for a first offense. What advice do you have for me regarding applying for my license after I graduate and etc? And can you explain your experience a bit more regarding what had to do and how long you had to wait to get your license?

How long did you have to wait to test for the NCLEX and receive your license? Also what did you do for work while you had to wait? I’m worried that after I graduate, the BON will make me wait an extensive amount of time to get my license which I’ll hinder my ability to work and make money to support myself. Just like everyone else, I have bills and student loans to pay off so it all seems ridiculous to have applicants wait a few years to review their application.

Thank you so much, this post made me feel a lot better! God Bless YOU! I just don’t want this to be the end for me you know? When I wrote this post I was hella discouraged but now I have found strength and I will do everything it takes to graduate in 2023 and get my license! I know this isn’t the end for my future career, I just have to get over the extra hurdles along the way. It will be hard but still possible to accomplish. Also, if you don’t mind me asking, how long did the BON make you wait to test for the NCLEX after you graduated (if they did make you wait)? And is there any advice you have for me when I speak with the BON about the charge went I get ready to take the NCLEX? I know they do an FBI level background checks so when I get the charge set aside (I’m doing that immediately when everything is over with) they will still be able to see it regardless.

Nowhere in my post did I say that I would withhold this information from the Arizona BON. I have to be honest with them about my charges when I apply to get my nursing license. So I don’t appreciate you accusing me of doing that at all. Furthermore, your comment didn’t help me out at all regarding my situation.

Hi everyone, I desperately need your advice/help while I’m going through this situation. First I’ll explain what happened to land me where I’m at today. Also I reside in Arizona, one of the strictest states on DUI’s so keep that in mind.... So I was out with friends one Saturday at a club and got drunk. No, I did not drive to the club, I rode with friends. After we were done, I was driven back to my friend’s apartment and I chilled there for about an hour (drank water and relaxed) then once I felt ready to drive back home, I left. Worst decision of my life. As I drove back home, I fell asleep 3 mins away from my house and crashed my car. Thank GOD nobody was hurt or killed nor did I hit anyone’s private property or car. I just hit the sidewalk and crashed my car. By the time of the accident it was about 3.6 hours since I had my last drink. At first when the cops showed up they literally could not tell I had any alcohol in my system because of how alert and informative I was (the paramedics and cops even asked me what I did for a living and I told them I was a nursing student), however I was 100% honest about what I was doing prior to the accident and they did a field sobriety test and what not...long story short I was arrested. Right now I’m waiting on my BAC test to come back and the police report bc the police did not notify me what I blew at all. I’m honestly confused because the cops were all so nice and easy going with me, which has my attorney and I suspecting I didn’t blow THAT high, so we are assuming below .08. All in all I had alcohol in my system whether it was a little or a lot, I sincerely know what I did was wrong and I am never going to make this mistake again. With all that being said, what does this mean for nursing school? I spoke with my attorney and I was told not to say anything to my Dean of Nurses at my school because I have not been convicted or charged with anything yet. In fact it could be months before we know what I am charged with since this isn’t a high priority case. I’ve already gone through a background check for school and everything is clear. Pretty much for now I’m supposed to lay low and just get rides to school and clinical. But is this the wrong move to make? I don’t want to be scrutinized by my professors or Dean when I graduate for not telling them what happened from the jump. Furthermore, what does this mean for licensing? I graduate May 2023 and I have no idea if my case will even be started or resolved by that time. I am going to have this charge set aside for sure for future employment but IDK when I’ll be able to complete that process because I have to pay all my fines and serve time if I get any. Overall I just need someone to let me know the right moves to make moving forward so I can become a Registered Nurse and have the opportunity to save and impact lives in a positive way!
