BACKGROUND CHECK

1. A background check is required of all students belonging to the School of Nursing because nurses perform sensitive tasks that include: the care and security of patients, children, the elderly, the handicapped, the mentally impaired; direct access to controlled substances and issuance of keys to buildings.
2. Students are required to submit, and satisfactorily clear, a criminal background check prior to performing clinical duties. Live Scan and fingerprinting are required.
3. Some agencies require additional background and security clearances that must be completed by students in advance of their clinical placement. Students will be given adequate time to prepare for and submit all documents for background clearances.
