|  Re: question I agree with Amanda. It depends on what state you are in and what the charge was. I applaud what you would like to do and you are very brave to be facing what you are and looking ahead as a responsible adult should do. If it is drug related some states might ask that you go through a drug treatment program before they will allow you to take the boards. What you do here on out and how you present yourself will be very important. I will keep you in my prayers and I hope that you are able to meet your goal.
