Kellogg community college nursing student handbook

Failure to follow through by the date indicated will result in the inability to participate in clinical
education. The inability to participate in clinical education prohibits the student’s ability to
successfully complete the requirements of the program.
To determine whether a student is eligible to participate in clinical education, all misdemeanor or
felony convictions revealed through the background check are aligned with the guidelines of the
State of Michigan Public Acts #26, 27, and 28. If a student’s criminal conviction deems the
student ineligible, the student will not be allowed to participate in clinical education. The inability
to participate in clinical education prohibits the student’s ability to successfully complete the
requirements of the program.
Please note that a misdemeanor or felony conviction could prevent the student from obtaining
certification, licensure, or employment upon graduation from the program. Students may contact
the professional licensing or certification agency for more information.

Clinical sites require a pre-placement drug screen. Students will be required to complete a drug
screen according to the most comprehensive standards the clinical sites have defined.
Some clinical sites require a drug screen based on behavior exhibited by the student while at the
site. When requested by officials at the site, students must provide a drug screen according to the
specific standards the clinical site has defined. A student referred to a drug screen will be
temporarily suspended from clinical work until the results of the drug screen are reported. The
program director will advise the student where and when to have the drug screen completed to
ensure compliance.
The cost of a drug screen is the responsibility of the student.
