While a health or education profession may help in other kinds of cases, it often will not in DUI cases. It may even make the educational licensing boards less likely to recertify a teacher which can affect future employment. Especially with nurses, the likelihood of facing severe consequences in their field along with discipline is high. It is a similar situation with doctors but nurses historically have been treated much more harshly.
It is important to listen to your attorney throughout the process since the advice they offer can save you much trouble down the road when dealing with disciplinary boards or other factors. Additionally, administrative attorneys can help represent you to those boards, which some DUI attorneys will also help with. A reduced charge can often help with the BRN.
