Drug Testing and Criminal Background Check<br />
Drug tests (urine screens) and criminal background checks are becoming standard<br />
requirements for employment, especially at health care facilities. Such requirements are also<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten in place for students who rotate through health facilities as part <strong>of</strong> required educational<br />
experiences. <strong>Student</strong>s can expect and should be prepared for them.<br />
<strong>Student</strong>s must be aware that:<br />
• If a drug test and/or a criminal background check is required for enrollment and or<br />
participation in any course, or for the granting <strong>of</strong> any permit or license required for<br />
participation in a course, the expense for the test and/or check must be borne by the<br />
student. Drug tests may cost $40-$75 and background checks may cost an additional<br />
$10-$75. The particular types <strong>of</strong> tests and checks required, as well as the costs for them,<br />
are subject to change and beyond the control <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> or the College <strong>of</strong> Nursing.<br />
• If a student fails to pass a drug test and/or a criminal background check they may be<br />
ineligible for enrollment in clinical courses, ineligible for graduation and therefore<br />
ineligible to continue in the College <strong>of</strong> Nursing.<br />
• The College <strong>of</strong> Nursing does not accept responsibility for any student being ineligible<br />
for coursework, continued enrollment in the College, or subsequent licensure as a nurse<br />
for any reason, including failure to pass a drug test or criminal background check.<br />
• <strong>Student</strong>s who provide any false information regarding drug use or criminal <strong>of</strong>fenses in<br />
any documents relating to their attendance at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> College <strong>of</strong><br />
Nursing are subject to immediate dismissal from the College. Failure to disclose correct<br />
information at any time also may be the basis for pr<strong>of</strong>essional discipline and/or denial <strong>of</strong><br />
licensure.<br />
