ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INCOMING STUDENTS

DO NOT DRINK MORE THAN 8 OUNCES OF LIQUIDS WITHIN 8 HOURS OF YOUR URINE DRUG SCREEN.

The day of your urine drug test, DO NOT drink more than 8 oz. of any liquid .  If you drink an excessive amount of liquid prior to conducting your urine drug screen, the results will be diluted and/or altered and therefore incomplete.  If your drug screen results come back dilute, you will not be able to be placed in clinical settings therefore, you will be ineligible to enter the nursing program.

BACKGROUND CHECK AND DRUG SCREEN

ALL nursing students in ALL programs will be required to complete a background check and urine drug screen. THIS IS A HOSPITAL/HEALTH CARE AGENCY REQUIREMENT. Students will be given the information to obtain these requirements upon admission to the program. The Background Check is completed through American Data Bank (ADB) ---> http://sdnsebackground.com/DO NOT COMPLETE THIS REQUIREMENT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN INVITATION TO START THE PROGRAM.

There is a possibility that a prior conviction may keep you from becoming a licensed health care practitioner. If you feel that you might not be eligible for licensure due to a prior arrest or conviction, please visit the California Board of Registered Nursing website at http:/www.rn.ca.gov/enforcement/convictions.shtml then make an appointment with the Associate Dean of Nursing at (619)644-7301 to discuss your options.
