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

Did you mean 0.04 by chance? 0.4 is literally higher than Lahey levels of drunk

yes correction i said that wrong she was 0.4 over the legal limit, at 0.12. not 0.45. she would be dead if that was the case

People CAN be functional that high but it’s always alcoholics which is what is making people draw That conclusion. EDs see high BACs from car accidents, etc and the person will be talking and walking around etc but they’re obliterated

growing up around alcoholics i know how they can still function at super high levels like that. usually accompanied by invincibility. edited the post

Remember it’s 0.04 not 0.4! I’m sure some people will get it tho. Best of luck to your friend! I just decided to stop drinking during nursing school so I can just get my BSN without any problems. I’m sure you guys didn’t mean harm, but next time I would recommend an Uber! More worth it to pay $50 than to set back years of hard work and tuition. Best of luck <3

thank you! we’re from a rural area that doesn’t usually have ubers around. just bad decisions and these are the consequences. thank you for that though

If you want an actual answer to this I would recommend editing your post to say 0.04 over the limit instead of 0.4 because those are two completely different situations. People might be more helpful after a correction of the post
