HBOC

Hearing this is disheartening. I have 2 DUIs in 2000 and 2002. I graduate in May and will be going through this process soon. My Dui's came from florida but im applying in CA. It was such a long time ago. Im married now with a kid and my life financial has been put on hold so I can go to school. The crazy thing is, I contacted the BRN in CA before I took my first pre-req and they said going through will show rehabilitation and the dui's will not be a problem. BTW my school said the same thing. Now I'm at the end and this BRN decides they want to get tougher with the app process. This sucks! should I just skip CA and apply in a different state?

and that was at LBCC?

what ever happened with your case? I have a juvenile record too and was wondering if I should bring it up? I went through the process of doing my own background check with the DOJ and nothing came up so i wasnt going to mention it. Now i'm second guessing myself and was just trying to find out more info.

I just got provisionally accepted into CA nursing program. Now I must pass a background check. I have 2 DUI's 8 and 10 years ago. I spoke with someone at the BRN in California and she said it would not be a problem since it was so long ago but now I'm getting a little worried. I'm not sure how far the schools go back in your history and if they do see it, will it be a problem? Has anyone out there been in the same situation or can give me any advice?
