The Oregon State Board of Nursing has limits on eligibility for licensure, as defined in OAR 851-031-0006 (1)(a)(b). Ultimately, licensure may be denied to students with a criminal offense, those with a major physical or mental condition that could affect their ability to practice nursing safely, and/or not adhering to OAR statutes defining nursing practice.  \nBackground Check & Overall Eligibility for Licensure for Minnesota Students: Students are required to submit to a university-ordered criminal background check to identify criminal convictions that may: (a) Pose a risk to public safety, or (b) preclude the ability to complete required clinicals. The Minnesota Board of Nursing has limits on eligibility for licensure, as defined by Minnesota State Statute 148.261. Ultimately, licensure may be denied to students with a criminal offense, those with a major physical or mental condition that could affect their ability to practice nursing safely, and/or not adhering to Minnesota state statutes defining nursing practice.  \nDrug Testing for Oregon Students: In accordance with OAR 409-030-0210 Drug Testing for Substance Abuse and Misuse, a student must undergo a drug test prior to the start date of initial placement at a covered clinical setting. Completion of a ten-panel drug test must take place prior to initial placement, but no more than three months before entry into the health profession training program requiring clinical training experience. A drug test is considered current while the student is enrolled and progressing in the health profession training program. Screens for the following eight substances must be included in the ten-panel drug screen: (a) Amphetamines (including methamphetamines); (b) Barbiturates; (c) Benzodiazepines; (d) Cocaine; (e)  \nMarijuana; (f) Methadone; (g) Opiates; and (h) Phencyclidine.  \nDrug Testing for Minnesota Students: While students at the St. Paul campus are not required to complete drug screening upon admission to the nursing program, some clinical sites in all states may require drug screenings prior to student placement, if an incident occurs at their facility, random drug testing, and/or drug testing for reasonable cause.  \nPositive Drug Test for any CSP Nursing Student: Despite legalization or decriminalization of some substances, CSP students who test positive for any of the substances stated above without a prescription or who are found to have tampered with a specimen will be disqualified from admission to the program or from engaging in clinical experiences and will be dismissed from the Program. Medical marijuana prescriptions will not be accepted.  \nPossibility of Additional Drug Testing: Some clinical sites in all states may require additional drug screenings prior to student placement, if an incident occurs at their facility, random drug testing, and/or drug testing for reasonable cause. The Program may require drug screen sampling other than urine for any repeat screening. The costs for additional drug screenings for any reason are the responsibility of the student. The Program reserves the right to conduct random drug screening and drug testing for reasonable cause.  \nAcknowledgement:  \nI acknowledge I have been informed regarding the background check, drug screen, and overall eligibility for licensure information above.  \nSignature","cbCaijHexxmUfoo2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijHexxmUfoo2","pdf",108370,"English","# Background Check & Overall Eligibility for Licensure\n## Oregon Students\n## Minnesota Students\n# Drug Testing\n## Oregon Students\n## Minnesota Students\n# Consequences of Positive Drug Test\n## Disqualification and Dismissal\n# Possibility of Additional Drug Testing\n# Acknowledgement","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the criminal background check for nursing licensure?\",\"answer\":\"The background check identifies criminal convictions that could risk public safety, prevent completion of required clinicals, or lead to a Notice to Deny Licensure for initial licensure in Oregon.
