10 year old felony DUI

Published

What's your experience with clinical agencies with having a very old felony. I have a 10 year old felony DUI. Well reality is I have two misdemeanors and 1 felony. The two mis are from 2004&2009. Then felony in 2010. I spoke to the florida BON they said I just will need to provide documentation and proof that I'm in a recovered state. Which I can. I've been sober since my last DUI July 6 2010. The Dean of Nursing stated that she didn't for see it being a problem with the clinical agency but that could be our only hold up. Does one clinical agency work with more than one hospital. Does one nursing school do clinicals at more than one place?

Most nursing schools have several different places they use for clinical rotations. Each will have their own rules about whether you will be allowed to do clinicals on site with them.

I went to a BSN program and had clinical placements at like 10 different facilities, many of them in different cities. I would agree with the Dean's suggestion that it probably won't be an issue. During COVID we often had to do clinicals online so you should ask them if they can make that accommodation for you in case a site doesn't admit you.
