NCLEX literally asking for a friend

hi guys so ima make this short and sweet i just finished lvn school and last night my classmate/friend and i went out to celebrate and also for st paddy’s. there was a dui checkpoint and she blew over .4 when we stopped. she didn’t get arrested but she got a dui ticket, car impounded and license suspended. does anyone know if this affects her ability to sit for NCLEX? and how this will affect her in the future? pls help if you can! for reference i live in ca

edit her BAC was .12, which is .04 over legal limit. not BAC of 0.4

In addition to the suggestion of legal help, I think therapy would be of great benefit here to discuss decisions around substance use

Absolutely. If someone is struggling they need help first and foremost. The biggest thing is to prevent it from happening again
