Thank you, I actually know a lot of nurses who actually have some type of addiction and have never been caught and I was so mad when I was told I might not get licensed because of my past. I definatley learned from it. Doesn't matter if was one drink or 5 you just don't drive. Thank you for your input.
I live in az and hope I can find some nurses here in this state who have been able to get licensed despite an old dui from there past. Az is a no tolerance state and even though I was technically below the .08 i was still charged and convicted with a dui. I also have a reckless driving on my record which is aswell a misdemeanor. I didn't even think to consider this until at a nursing information session the instructor warned for us to see if we can even get licensed. I was so excited to join the program but I'm so discouraged now. I don't think I'll ever stop paying for my youthful mistakes.
