Disciplinary Guidelines For Criminal Conduct: RN License Renewal In Texas
I will tell them that a DWI (driving while intoxicated) in Texas under the nursing profession is quite cost. I will also inform him that since this is your second offense in a row, t might hamper or delay the process of your license renewal. You might need to retain a DWI attorney who has the desired skills of defending you in the court trail for the license renewal. According to the Board of Nursing (BON) of Texas (2013), you might need to go through the psychological and physical evaluation to evaluate if you are fit enough for procuring nursing care. If you are not in Texas, the conditions might not be so serious that it would escalate to court case in order to retrieve the license. Still I will recommend not to drink and drive not only to secure your license but to secure you own health and life of pedestrians and by-standards (Texas Board of Nursing, 2015).
I will inform her that the as per the disciplinary guidelines of BON, a nurse might able to retain or obtain a license under such circumstances and this is known as encumbered license and the conditions are strictly defined by the board. I will also inform her that as per the Texas Board of Nursing (2015), she might not be eligible for the practice as nurse under independent settings or in settings of home health as specific restrictions might be imposed. On personal note I will suggest him that moving to Texas might not be beneficial for his career as must be of the career opportunities in nursing will be restricted.
