Thank you so much for your reply! It has made me feel better, I really did not think that my DWAI would interfere with my nursing license. I have been a pediatric nurse at Children's Hospital in Denver for 8 years, since I graduated from nursing school. My husband and I want to move to Dallas to be close to his parents and raise our family. Now I am wondering if I it is still what we are meant to do?

Thank you RN34TX, it makes me feel better being reassured that it has happened.Of course, I knew that there had to be RN's w/ prior DUI's but freaked out a little. What I didn't write in my initial post(due to time restraints yesterday) is that I had already petitioned for my license and was denied. I received a letter stating I need to pay another $150 and resubmit w/ court documents b/c they found something on my background check that I didn't acknowledge in my app. I didn't acknowledge it b/c I wasn't "convicted"...I pleaded down to a misdmeanor. I know I'll have to call the BNE tomorrow to talk w/ them but was afraid I was screwed when I got the letter. It also says it takes a MINIMUM of 3 months to resolve. Thanks again, Any other input from others is welcome as well.

Hello, I am an RN w/ current valid license in CO. I am preparing to move and transfer to Texas but am concerned about a dui I received 2 yrs. ago. Has anyone had, or heard of, instances like this in Tetxas and how hard it might be to transfer my license to Texas? Thanks!
