How's it going everyone. Thought I would make a post hoping that it would help anyone in a similar situation. Alright, so basically I have two prior arrests both while in college, and both for Operating While Impaired/Intoxicated. The first offens...

Yeah I haven’t had issues traveling to Canada, but it was for the purpose of pleasure not to work. In theory they could deny me entry for any criminal offense if they really wanted to ruin my day but they haven’t since traveling there on a few occasi...

OK gotcha, I didn’t know you’re coming from Canada. I’ve been to Canada following my reckless driving twice and have had no problems getting over the boarder. They never asked about my driving record so maybe they didn’t look or didn’t care I’m not s...

Definitely not the highest pbt but not the lowest. I would honestly go into this situation with the expectation that it’s not going to get dropped completely. I had one of my charges reduced and another eventually dropped but I had to jump through a ...

For NortherTravelingNurse, I cannot speak to travel nursing. I haven’t gotten my compact nursing license or applied for my CA license. I’m currently license in 3 states with one of them being a compact state and have had no issues really getting my l...

I was in that same spot. I know the feeling but I promise it gets better. It ended up being OK but I had to jump through a lot of hoops. I got a feeling it’ll be the same in your situation. A nursing buddy of mine is a violent felon and still has his...

I don’t know the circumstances surrounding your arrest and hopefully I’m offering good advice. In my situation what benefited me a lot was being able to get the charges dropped to a lesser offense. Which can definitely happen. I had to jump through a...

Beythankful RN, I’ve been there. I would fight nail and teeth to get this new charged reduced. Not saying this for your nursing license but in general it’ll look a lot nicer getting that charged reduced. I would get a good attorney. Look at reviews o...

What I would do is wait until this DUI gets dropped before applying for your CA license. Did you plead guilty to a DUI or are you pending a court date? I’m pretty sure you would have to notify CA of the arrest. At least that’s my speculation. If you ...

Congrats dogdadthennurse! That’s awesome!

Hi NorthernTravelingNurse. Glad you found this thread too. Are you traveling in CA? From what I’ve read California is pretty strict when it come to DUIs. I could be wrong, but I would maybe call the CA BON and see what they recommend. I’ve not sure i...

I honestly wouldn’t even both mentioning it if it doesn’t pop up on your fbi background check. But LubbDubb is correct some state applications say to submit expunged records but how will the BON know about it if it doesn’t show up on your background ...

Nope, I wouldn’t even disclose it. Don’t mention it. Doesn’t appear on your FBI background check; won’t appear on their check.

Hello, glad to see this thread still going. In response to Rachel North, I feel like you should be completely fine. Especially if you got it dropped to a reckless driving. I would look at the application. If it says you have to submit the arrest reco...

Hi Arieg94, I'm sorry I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to any charges in the military. My past experience with the Louisiana BON is that they are super strict. However, it sounds like your charge/infraction wasn't drug or alcohol related. So ...

I agree with RN issues that's some useful info from someone who experienced it first hand. It's good that you're not in the nursing program when this happened, which is what happened with me. I would talk with the nursing program and maybe message th...

Hi braleyk93, I have a question: did you get your DWIs reduced? I was able to receive my Texas license no problem with my criminal record. I did get my two OWIs/DUIs reduced/dropped. I would be forthcoming if the two charges are on your record with t...

Wow, that’s awesome story RNissues. I appreciate you sharing that, I almost considered pursing other avenues when I had trouble getting my license. I’m glad I’m in nursing but always wonder what would have happened if I followed another path.

Hi Krazm so what I would do is after your probationary period do a background check on yourself and make sure all the charges were reduced. Make sure whatever charge you have now was reduced and the theft charges were reduced to littering. See what s...

Hi guys, so to respond to ItalianRN_90 you won't be able to get any driving related offenses expunged. I'm from michigan and I tried to get my reckless driving expunged but am unable to do so. It's a law that any driving related misdemeanors aren't e...

How long do you have until your application will Ben thrown out? I would ask for more time so that you can get the required paperwork.

So I can’t offer legal advice but I can just speak through past experience what I did and what I would do to help out others in similar situation. With that being said I would do a live scan background check on yourself. That’s through the fbi and th...

Hi there, thank you for your post. I will take a look at the Ga license tonight and see what it says on the application. So Michigan and some other states are more lenient and don’t need to submit documents that have been dismissed or reduced. I didn...

Man, sorry I'm a year late. Haven't checked this thread in a while. I feel like if you were cleared in Cali you should be fine anywhere. I got my charge reduced to a reckless driving, not a "wet reckless". So it says on my background check "reckless ...

Yup I read that document front and back lol. And both my OWI offenses got dropped, so didn't think there would be much of an issue. Especially considering I got licensed in Michigan no problem, but I was wrong lol. But like I said for aquaprinces, ...
