A DUI arrest or conviction in Florida can potentially impact your nursing license, but the severity of the consequences depends on various factors. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
Possible Consequences:
Board Investigation: The Florida Board of Nursing (BON) may investigate any DUI arrest or conviction involving a licensee. They will review the details of the case, including the BAC level, whether there were any accidents or injuries involved, and your prior disciplinary history (if any).
Disciplinary Action: Depending on the outcome of the investigation, the BON could take various disciplinary actions, including:
Reprimand: A formal warning from the BON.
Probation: Placing your license on probation with specific requirements, such as substance abuse evaluation and treatment.
Suspension: Temporarily suspending your nursing license.
Revocation: In extreme cases, the BON may revoke your nursing license.
Bench Warrant: The judge may issue a bench warrant for your arrest. This authorizes law enforcement to arrest you at any time, even for minor traffic violations.
Failure to Appear Charge: You may be charged with a new crime for failing to appear in court. This is typically a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine [Florida Statute § 843.15].
Default Judgment (Civil Cases): In civil cases (lawsuits between individuals or businesses), missing a court date could lead to a default judgment being entered against you. This means the other party automatically wins the case.
DUI Statutes Apply to Motor Vehicles: Florida Statutes define a motor vehicle broadly, encompassing any self-propelled device designed for carrying passengers or freight [Florida Statute § 316.001(14)]. This definition includes golf carts.
