What shows up on a background check for nursing school? | Chelle Law

Nursing schools usually conduct a federal criminal background check on applicants for nursing positions. Before a national criminal registry was created, people with criminal records could move from state to state, and employers would not find out about convictions in other states. With the new system, an employer can see convictions for crimes committed in any state and the penalty, including prison time, probation, or a fine. Different school utilize different background check services, but most of them check for the following:

Criminal conviction history
Criminal incidents that did not result in a conviction (usually 7 years back)
Citations and Fines
Credit History
Housing History
