Clearance for Clinical Placements in the School of Nursing and Health Sciences

Students must be aware that clinical placement sites reserve the right to deny, in their sole discretion, a student's clinical placement based upon the results of the background check, drug screening, noncompliance with safety or vaccination requirements, or other site-specific requirements.   Procedures related to clearance for clinical experiences are documented in the program handbooks.  The Molloy University Barbara H. Hagan School of Nursing and Health Sciences ("The School") is not responsible for the clinical ineligibility of any student for any reason, including but not limited to whether a history of conviction, potential drug use, or to other circumstances were disclosed to the School of the University prior to the student's matriculation. If a student's clinical placement at a clinical placement site is denied, the School does not guarantee the availability of an alternative clinical placement.  The School or University is under no obligation to affirmatively seek out additional clinical placement sites that may be willing to accept a student who has been denied a clinical placement. If a student cannot be placed in an established clinical placement for any reason, including, but not limited to, a failed background check or drug test, clinical clearance criteria, or other finding, the student will not be able to complete the program and will therefore be removed and dismissed from the respective program.
