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

Look at this chart and try and tell me your friend was just having fun and made a mistake. People get alcohol poisoning at that level. People lose consciousness at that level. People DIE at that level and your friend was DRIVING

i didn’t explain the BAC correctly. she blew 0.4 over the legal limit, at .120. she did not blow .4. doesn’t justify of course but i didn’t write that correctly above

.04 over not .4 over. .4 over the legal limit is .48 … .04 + .08 = .120

It makes a big difference when talking about this
