Fellow RNs, I have a good friend who has messed up; 2 DUIs in 2012, 4 months apart, 2nd one breaking her neck; she shows no indication to stop drinking and driving; should her license be suspended or revoked? Where do "boundaries" begin= at practicing under influence? She also had prescription drug titers HIGH in her system

Hiya Insanity, In my opinion, It sounds to me like she may lose her license..One of the requirements is to be a upstanding moral person. While this doesn't make her immoral, She does have some serious problems she needs to take care of.. Best of luck to your "firend"... Please keep us posted..Teresa 


BTW, Has "she" contacted an attorney or the BON?

Thank you; though a lifelong friend, I tend to agree, especially with no resolve to abstain from alcohol
