    Becoming a nurse with a felony
    I recently received my 4th DUI which is a felony in the state of Ohio. I am a nursing student planning to graduate in December. I have successfully completed a treatment program and I attend AA meetings regularly. The state board of nursing has told me they cannot give me any specific answers on this issue until I am ready to take my NCLEX exam. I don't know if continuing my education is a waste of my time and money or not. Can anyone help?

    excon is correct. You aren't going to get your license. You are lucky to have made it this far in nursing school
