Bon Secours facilities are “Drug-Free Workplaces”. Substance abuse is cause for disciplinary action that may include dismissal from the program.

Students shall sign a release for substance abuse testing upon acceptance into the program. Refusal to sign such release will result in withdrawal of the student’s acceptance and that student will not be allowed to enter the program.

Accepted students must successfully complete drug screening to fulfill admission requirements. Positive results on admission drug screening results in immediate revocation of the student’s accepted status. Applicants who are declined entry into the program for this reason may not reapply until at least 6 months later.

Students are expected to be prepared to function appropriately in the classroom and clinical environments. Students who do not appear to be prepared for such responsibility and are suspect for drug/ alcohol use shall be asked to leave and report immediately for drug/alcohol testing. The student will be required to pay for testing. Refusal to undergo testing will result in immediate dismissal from the program.

Positive drug or alcohol test results will be cause for disciplinary action that may include dismissal.
