Background check for nursing?
I recieved a 1st offense dwi about 2 years ago prior to entering an lpn program. Before being submitted, I gave information about the attorney I hired and all the classes I completed. After finishing the classes it was expunged off my record. The lpn program looked at my description on the offense and still accepted me into the program. After a few months into the program, I was dealing with issues in life so I decided to take a break from the program. Over the break, i decided to go out one night to drink (with a designated driver). My DD left me without notifying me so i somewhat felt obligated to drive which was stupid of me. Long story short, i got my car stuck over railroad tracks (on a back road) and police showed up. Giving me a dwi, because my keys were still in the ignition & being still on. It was going to be a 2nd offense dwi but i hired a lawyer again and he had it reduced to a 1st offense. i also completed all court ordered classes as soon as i could. After that I quit drinking for good. I planned on pursuing the nursing program again. My question is, I submitted an honest description of my dwis. Is there a chance I will get accepted? Or even a job as an lpn/RN or ect?

Some states take DWI/DUIs very seriously and you can't get licensed with a recent one without mitigation. I can't say what your school and your BON will do with your situation. It might be wise to sit down and ask. From there, you would touch base with a few HR folks to see what their thoughts are.
You are more likely to get a break if you are remorseful, have lots of alcohol related volunteer work, and have done rehab or therapy.
