Thanks for your response....unfortunately the CA board handles everything like this on a case by case basis so contacting them would be a moot point:( I was looking to know if any nurses with previous dui's had obtained their license in CA. After I graduate from nursing it will have been at least 15 years since my dui. I have two children and I don't want to take on the schooling if in the end I will be denied a license.

Hello. In Jan of 200 I received a dui after drinking that night and then sleeping over at a friends. When I awoke the next early morning, I felt fine to drive and was pulled over on the way home and received a dui. Really stupid mistake and I have a clean record otherwise. I was wondering if anyone out there has gotten their CA nursing license with similar circumstances? I realize that the board handles each situation on a case by case basis, but any hope that I can get will be greatly appreciated.I am getting ready to start all my nursing prerequisites and already have a BS degree. I have long been wanting to go into nursing and finally know what I want to do. I am terrified that this will hold me back. Can anyone shed any hope into the situation or is this a pipe dream? Thank you in advance for your responses?
