Getting my NMC Pin with previous conviction

Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone has any previous experiences of the above. I have just graduated from my children and young peoples nursing degree, I have a job lined up (I start this week!), and have been invited by the NMC to register, which I have just done. I have a drink driving conviction from 10.5 years ago (annoyingly, in May it gets filtered) but obviously I have declared it now. I have always been open and honest about it - and of course the uni have always been aware, and my new job. My application for uni had to go to the fitness to practise panel before I could even be offered an interview, and they said this would not have any bearing on it. Now as it's been sent to the registration investigations team, I am freaking out. Don't get me wrong, I knew they would have to look into it, but I'm very worried about the outcome! I also declared a long-term health condition (related to the offence many years ago, which I have also declared), so I guess they will also be looking into this and making sure I declared it on application to university (I have). I filled in the reflective statement part that said it was optional, and cited that I knew it was unacceptable, that I had learnt from it and all the positive things I had achieved since then, along with my circumstances at the time of the offence. I also said I had always been open and honest and haven't/would never make the same mistake again. I really hope after many years of studying this won't hold me back. Does anyone have any similar stories? Do you think i'll be ok? The email today said they would look into it within 5 working days. I guess they will also take into account the length of time that has passed and the circumstances. Everyone at my uni seems to be getting their pins within 2 or so days at the moment, so I'm hoping this means the NMC isn't super busy at present and I won't be in limbo for long.

Hello, I just want to ask you if you have received your pin. I am in a similar situation but I am very anxious as my cohort are receiving their pin one after the other.
