This sounds stupid, but..

So I know this is rather a silly question,

but could having a suspension on my license for 2 months raise an eyebrow with the BON or any nursing schools that I apply to?

I logged into my DMV account the other day and realized I have a suspension on my license because I didn't finish my driving clinic on time (I had to take for a ticket) when I thought I finished on time. It's crazy because I've been going a couple months not knowing I have no driving privileges.

I just paid the fine and I am getting it squared away, but am I thinking too much about this? Is this something that stays on your record? I don't want this effecting my chances of getting into nursing school or not being able to sit for the NCLEX over something like this.

I know it's a stretch but I've read soooo many horror stories up here about people not being able to sit for the NCLEX or getting in trouble with the BON over a record.

Thanks for the help guys!

BON could care less about moving violations (speeding, running stoplight/sign, turning right on red, etc) on your driving record. They only care about DUIs. Go to your state's BON monthly meeting and see the cases that they are really concerned with.
