Had a question for anyone who applied for Colorado license with criminal history. The application asks for supporting court documents. Can anyone explain more specially from their experience? Like...just the court findings or also the police report from the arresting officer? I have a DUI from 2017...and I wasn't the nicest person during the arrest (I'm mortified just thinking back about it) and I'm terrified of ANYONE reading just how rude I was. Thanks!

Correct. The breathalyzer is due to the DUI. I've been eligible to have it removed since last year. However, I'm electing to voluntarily keep it on. It's not a tool for relapse prevention, but rather damage control/ensuring saftey should a relapse happen...which proved to be successful since I was prevented from drinking and driving and prevented from arriving to work under the influence or becoming under the influence while at work since then I'd be unable to start my car and go home.

So I'm still in rehab, will be day 21 on Wednesday. HR and my manager said that because nothing happened at work they won't turn me in to the BON. That's great...but that doesn't mean they aren't able to turn me into the monitoring program since the program allows nurses to be turned in to them behind the BON's back and without their involvement. I spoke to a lawyer who defends nurse licenses and she told me I don't need to tell the BON since I removed myself via FMLA and immediately ceased working...and due to no legal or occupational incidents. About rehab...I went to a rehab that I worked at as a nurse over a year ago. So all my former co-workers are now treating me. Administration assured me they don't turn in nurses, plus during my time working there we treated many nurses and I never saw that happen.

So quick background. I was previously in my state's monitoring program (self referral) for a DUI, was sober for 3 years, successfully completed the program. I have since relapsed on alcohol. However...no arrests, no work incidents, was never intoxicated/impaired on the job (I have a breathalyzer on my car, so for me to get to work and then go home at the end of the day my BAC has to be 0). I kept it self contained at home...but boy oh boy I've seen this movie before and know how it ends so I immediately slammed the breaks and trotted over to inpatient rehab before anything happened that could risk my license. So I'm sitting here in rehab...thinking...because that's what we do...and the question popped in my head, "Do I have to report going to rehab to the BON?" I get having to report an arrest or something happening at work...but my situation doesn't have that. Has anyone dealt with a voluntarily/private rehab decision and whether or not to self report to the BON? I'm kinda confused. Thanks!
