As future nurses, there are important ethical and professional considerations of which you should be aware. Convictions of egregious felonies may prevent you from being licensed in the State or elsewhere and may preclude you from obtaining gainful employment as a nurse. Even after obtaining your license, convictions of such crimes may cause your license to be suspended or revoked. It is therefore very important that you conduct yourself professionally and ethically as a law abiding citizen. Please take note of the following information. All nursing students are subject to two thorough criminal background checks prior to program completion and licensure. The college of Nursing conducts the first check upon admission to the nursing program, and the Ohio Board of Nursing conducts the second check six to nine months before graduation. While the cost of the first background check is included in the student’s fees, students are responsible for the cost of the second background check. Both background checks may reveal a student’s unsealed and sealed criminal records.
1. college of Nursing Screening
The college of Nursing conducts a background check after students are admitted and determines whether a student may be placed in clinical settings under State laws, including the Board of Nursing’s Felony Preclusion rule, which is explained below. The cost of this first background check is included in students’ course fees, and while the college of Nursing makes every effort to work with students whose record reveals a conviction other than one listed below, clinical sites may decline to accept the student, which could negatively impact the students’ ability to successfully complete the academic program. Anyone with a drug trafficking conviction (felony) will not be considered for admission or will be dismissed from the college of Nursing.
Students who are convicted of, plead guilty to, or have a judicial finding of guilt for any crime subsequent to enrollment should immediately notify the college of Nursing in order to determine whether such action will negatively impact their ability to complete the program or obtain a State license.
2. The State Board of Nursing Licensure
The State Board of Nursing requires all student who enter a pre-licensure program after June 1, 2003 to submit their fingerprints to the state Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCII) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) six to nine months prior to completing their nursing education. Students who wish to seek licensure in other states may be subject to similar requirements in those states.
If you are not yet convinced that you should perform a pre employment background check before settling on an employee, consider the following points. To begin with, it has been estimated that compared to the usual $50 or so that you may have to spend for a pre employment background check, you can spend about as much as $5000, and more, on recruiting, hiring, and training one employee. Still another reason would be that you could actually get charged with negligence if it is proven that you have not taken conscientious steps to make certain that you are indeed hiring a properly qualified person for the job, and that you included pre employment background search. One step to forestall those problems would be to perform a pre employment background check. |
