I graduated from a technical school in practical nursing in May of 2006. It has been my life long dream to become a nurse. One month before graduation I got a DUI....The Idaho Board of Nursing finally came to the decision that I could take boards (which I did in December-and passed!!) on the condition I surrender my license and enroll in the program for recovering nurses. So since then I have been in the process of getting started in that program, some times I feel like giving up but I know I have to keep trying...I was wondering if any one knew once I get a restricted license and am able to work in Idaho, if I will be able to move to another state (any state other than Idaho) and still be able to do whatever program that state has and still work as a nurse?...I haven't even been able to work as a LPN as of yet but its getting closer. Any info would be helpful because as of now I'm clueless.

If you show that you are/have complied with the mandates, i don't see any problems. Check with the BON of the state you're transfering to.
Any other advice, folks?
