Candor
Candor is defined as full disclosure of pertinent information as well as correction of inaccuracies or misperceptions. All students must complete a health clearance form which requires disclosure of any health conditions which may affect the student's ability to enter clinical settings or the ability of the School to secure clinical placements.
Students in nursing programs with a clinical component are required to submit to a criminal background check and to fully disclose relevant health history that may impact their health or safety in a clinical setting, or the health or safety of those around them. This may include, but is not limited to, any history of chemical dependency/substance use (i.e., alcohol, drugs, and controlled substances).
Whether or not they represent a current threat to practice, disciplinary action or dismissal from the Conway School of Nursing may result from failure to fully disclose relevant health history and/or criminal background, and/or falsification or material omission of information. The student's duty to disclose the aforementioned information remains throughout the student's enrollment in the Conway School of Nursing.
