Background Checks & Drug Screenings

Required for Nursing and Allied Health Students to Engage in Clinical Experiences

Due to the requirements of many Clinical Sites in Connecticut, nursing and allied health students are required to have completed a Background Check and/or Drug Screen PRIOR to beginning a Clinical/Internship Experience. 
 
For over 10 years, Nursing and Allied Health Programs have successfully partnered with the Connecticut Center for Nursing Workforce, Inc. (CCNW) to seamlessly coordinate these screening services for enrolled students.

The processing of the Background Check for Clinical/Internship Experience will be conducted by Employers Reference Source, Inc. (ERS) and the 12-Panel Drug Screen will be processed by Quest Laboratories in Connecticut.

The following state and national databases are utilized to process the student Background Check:
  • Social Security Number Verification
  • Statewide Criminal Search in the State of Connecticut
  • Federal Criminal Search
  • OIG - Office on Inspector General
  • Homeland Security Search
The Background Checks cover all states and residences in which the student has lived, as well as the location of the School that he/she is enrolled.  Background Checks may take up to 10-14 Business days to complete from the day of registration and receipt of payment.
 
Should your Connecticut Nursing or Allied Health Program be interested in learning more about how the CCNW can support YOUR students with the services, please contact Marcia Proto, Executive Director, of CCNW at 203-691-5013 or via email at Marcia@CTCenterForNursingWorkforce.com.
