check, the student may not be permitted in a particular practice setting. Students should

note that prior felony charges/convictions are typically not allowed clearance into most

healthcare settings. Since clinical is required to be successful in the nursing program, caution

at any time during the program. A mandatory drug screen is required (at the expense of the

student) after acceptance to the program and will also be required randomly throughout the

course of the program.
