Criminal Background Check
The School of Nursing is committed to educating professional nurses and is
obligated to provide safe and effective care to the clients we serve. To ensure
that students in the School of Nursing uphold professional standards, integrity,
and behavior expectations in the Nursing Program, students will be required to
submit verification of a National Criminal Background Check upon admission
to the School of Nursing.
a. The RN to B.S.N. student is expected to submit verification of a national
criminal background check prior to being admitted into the RN to B.S.N.
cohort. If the nurses’ license is under investigation, on probation, or revoked
due to action by the Board of Nursing, the student’s standing in the program
may be jeopardized.
b. Arrangements and cost for the National Criminal Background Check are the
responsibility of the student. The agency that conducts background checks
for the IU Southeast School of Nursing will forward results to the School
of Nursing.
