Will I be able to become a nurse?

Question

I have 3 duii's and I am wondering will that keep me from being able to get accepted into a nursing program?

Answer 1

The biggest problem with having DUI's  is whether or not you were convicted of them. Many states will not allow you to sit for boards if you have Criminal proceedings or are on parole. They definitely will not allow you if you any sort of felony. You might be able to request special circumstances with your state board of nursing, and the nursing program will want to see the results of that. Some nursing programs might accept you after a formal interview session to hear your side of the situation, but only if they think you might someday be able to sit for boards.
