Background Check & Drug Screen
Applicants for the Nursing Program will be selected according to the established admission criteria and selection procedure. Once selected, admission to the Program will be provisional, with enrollment and progression in nursing courses contingent upon completing all pre-enrollment requirements. These requirements include, but are not limited to, a criminal background check and a drug screen. A positive result in either requirement may result in the student's need to withdraw from the program because clinical agencies prohibit students with certain criminal offenses and positive drug screens from receiving clinical instruction in their facility. If withdrawn from the program, students must re-apply and are not guaranteed selection.
