Can I Still Enter a Nursing Program if I Have DWI’s and a Drug Paraphanalia Charge (In Missouri)?
Question by oliveOIL: Can I still enter a nursing program if I have DWI’s and a drug paraphanalia charge (in Missouri)?
I have been thinking of going to college to become a nurse for some time, I have always been interested in the medical field and feel now that I am ready to dedicate my time to getting the degree to pursue a career. I was reading a pamplet about nursing school though and it said that the Nursing Board may refuse to issue licensure for use or unlawful possesion of any controlled substance, 2 years ago I was charged with possesion of drug paraphanalia, a glass marijuana pipe that was not mine but my friends in my car so we both got charged. I also was charged with a DWI when I was 18, although I was under the legal limit (i blew .05) I was not 21. When I was 22 I was charged with a second DWI. My lifestyle has changed immensly since then, I have grown up a lot and rarely even go out or drink alcohol anymore. I really want to know if I can persue this career because I would hate to do all that school and not even be able to get licensed. I live in Missouri. I am 24 now.
I know I needed to change my life, I really have changed a lot, 18-22 I was just a little wild, I am over it now though, it must have just been a phase I went through. I have scheduled to go to an information seminar on the nursing program at my local community college where I am going to ask them if I am eligible to get in. I want to know also if there is anyone else who had issues like this and still became a nurse?

I do not see a credited nursing program accepting you. You will never survive the background check.
