Nursing - Legal Requirements

Criminal Background Check

Felony and some misdemeanor convictions will prevent you from completing program requirements and
taking licensure, certification, and registry examinations, thus affecting your employment option.

Federal and state laws require a criminal background check with fingerprint of those assigned to long-term care facilities, psychiatric agencies, nursing homes, and homes for the aged. When assigned to such a facility, you must permit GRCC to perform a criminal check and to release the findings to the facility.
