I am an ER nurse of three years and have recently made a stupid mistake of driving home after having a few drinks and was pulled over. I am being charged with dui of .12. I would just like some advice on how to approach the Missouri board of nursing with this situation. I know that this is very serious and I am not taking this situation lightly, as nothing of this sort has ever happened to me before. I am completely embarrased and distraught by this and in my oppinion, I have learned my lesson the hard way since this has been one of the most stressful and scariest times of my life. I can definitely say that I will NEVER get behind the wheel again after having any amount to drink. That being said, I would like to know if any other nurses in Missouri have been in my situation and how they approached the board to ask for forgiveness and reconcilliation. Any information will be greatly helpful and appreciated. Thank you...
