I'm taking prerequisites for a Nursing program at a Technical College here in the Upstate of South Carolina. I've been a recovering alcoholic for a about a year, but recently I had a relapse which resulted in an arrest for DUI 1st offense, and I am really worried that I've messed up my chances for admission to the program because of the criminal background check. I have no other problems with my record other than this alcohol related one. I'm still going to school everyday, but I hope it isn't all in vain now. I'm scared and really worried. I'm currently 37 and can't wait 7 years for this to go off my record. Can anyone offer any advise or help? Worried sick in South Carolina, Gary
