How will a DUI impact your nursing / teaching / legal career?
One common concern we hear from the good people we represent is what effect their DUI arrest will have on their professional license. If you are subject to professional licensing requirements, it may be necessary for you to disclose the fact of your arrest, charge, or conviction to the licensing body, or to provide details about the case during any application for renewal.
While the fact of having been arrested, charged, or convicted may have an effect on professional licenses, this largely depends on the specific licensing body at issue, the nature of the charges, and whether your case results in a conviction. Nurses do not have the same professional rules as teachers, and lawyers, doctors and other professionals have their own licensing boards to navigate. For more information on the professional effects of being arrested, charged, or convicted of a DUII we recommend you consult with someone well-versed in the procedures and policies of your specific licensing body, and we are happy to recommend individuals who are qualified to assist you in that arena – just ask your attorney or contact our intake team here.
