Am I required to have a drug screen to attend clinical?

Yes. All students admitted to the nursing program must complete a drug screen through a company designated by the School of Nursing and Health Sciences.  In addition, students are subject to drug/alcohol screens randomly or for cause throughout the program.  A refusal to test or the inability to provide a sample for drug testing at any point in the program will be considered a positive drug screen.  A positive drug screen at any point in the program will result in a “W” in the appropriate nursing course regardless of the earned theory grade. The student will have the option to reapply for a subsequent semester upon proof of an acceptable drug screen.
