Background checks are completed through .

Background checks deemed unacceptable based on past criminal history will be handled on an individual basis with consultation from the dean and program director, and may result in dismissal.

It is your responsibility to check with each agency prior to beginning clinical experiences to identify and meet its requirements. In some cases, drug screens or other requirements may be required. You are responsible for the cost of any required screenings.

Agencies maintain the right to deny a student to practice if your background check or drug screen is positive. In such cases, you would be prevented from completing the program due to inability to complete the clinical requirements. Records for both the criminal background check and the drug screen are maintained in strict confidence by the Trudy Busch Valentine School of Nursing and will be disclosed to the participating agency only upon request.

• Diphtheria and Tetanus*: Documentation of a primary series of diphtheria and tetanus toxoid, and a booster within the past ten years.
• Measles*: Documentation of two doses of live measles (or MMR combined) vaccine separated by at least one month on or after the first birthday, or laboratory evidence of immunity. Because routine childhood immunization schedules for two doses of measles vaccine have only recently been implemented, most students entering the University will need the second dose of live measles vaccine. Individuals who received killed measles vaccine, combination of killed and live measles vaccine, or measles vaccine of an unknown type between 1963-1967 are considered unvaccinated, and should receive two doses of live vaccine at least one month apart.
• Mumps*: Documentation of one dose of live mumps (or MMR combined) vaccine on or after the first birthday or laboratory evidence of immunity. People who received killed mumps vaccine available between 1950-1978 might benefit from revaccination.
• Rubella*: Documentation of one dose of rubella (or MMR combined) vaccine on or after the first birthday, or documentation of laboratory evidence of immunity.
• Hepatitis A: Immunization series against Hepatitis A or laboratory evidence of immunity is recommended for student with direct patient contact, and highly recommended for students working with populations where there is increased incidence of Hepatitis A.
• Hepatitis B*: Immunization series against Hepatitis B or laboratory evidence of immunity is required before patient care experiences. Students are encouraged to follow current CDC recommendations, which include a follow-up titer to confirm continued immunity.
• Varicella: Documentation of disease or laboratory evidence of immunity is recommended before patient care experiences.
• Tuberculin Test*: A sequence of annual negative PPD tests or documentation of a negative two-step tuberculin skin test within the past 12 months is required before patient care experiences. Annual one-step retesting is required throughout the program. Positive skin tests require a separate, annual, physician statement documenting treatment and the absence of active/infectious tuberculosis.

Please note: All students must meet the health/immunization requirements of their assigned clinical agency. These requirements may necessitate additional immunizations besides those required by the University and Trudy Busch Valentine School of Nursing. All requirements are subject to change based on University, Trudy Busch Valentine School of Nursing, CDC or OSHA requirements.

*These are University requirements. All students must document compliance with these requirements upon entering the University. If documentation is not complete, students will be unable to participate in activities requiring patient contact and the University will place a hold on subsequent registration
