Legal Answers
3 Questions Answered
- Q. Can I keep my job as RN with aggravated DUI charge at Northwestern Medicine?
- A: Probably. However, there is likely a self reporting requirement and you had best contact a lawyer that is familiar with representing nurses before the Illinois Department of professional Regulations. I have seen in past cases where the nurse is put on a period of probation with conditions. But again, get a referral to an IDPR Lawyer. Good luck
- Q. I never obtained a license in the state of new jersey but i had a dui incedint that was handled an taken care of
- A: You will need to clear up everything with your home state dmv. The Florida DMV probably gave a reason for the denial.
- Q. Can the person I bailed out of jail get put back in jail?
- A: Unfortunately, he will probably get arrested again and his bond will be revoked. Also, if no alcohol is a condition of his pretrial release he may have bond revoked. Good luck.
