The applications for licensure for all states require disclosure of all misdemeanor and felony convictions, even those which have been expunged. All applicants are also fingerprinted. I does not keep a person from being licensed. Each state will make their own determination, the person must send all records, of court, sentencing, any time served and probation. If a rehab program was ordered, those records are also required. If a person has fully complied they might be allowed licensure, dependent on the situation. A single DWI is probably not an issue. Multiple DWIs over a several year period with injury or property damage would be different.
Contact the State Board of Nursing in your state. Each state is different.

You will have to declare what is known as a declaratory order where you will tell them about it and they will put you on
probation or worse depending on the severity of the crime committed. I had one and it took a year where I was watched by my hospital and they had to send in letters to say that I had been following the rules. Then I was cleared now my license is unencumbered. They will roast yo if they find out about it first. It is also hard to get a job with a declaratory order a lot of hospitals don't want to be bothered.

In most states you can't get your license if you have a felony but it all depends on the state. The best thing for you to do is to check with your state board of nursing, they can give you a definite answer. Good luck

Yes. I am fairly sure. you can always go to the local department of human resources and look it up.
