UNIVERSITY OF DUBUQUE NURSING ADMISSION BROCHURE

Notice: Beginning with the 2012-2013 academic year, UD Nursing will begin a policy of random drug testing as a requirement of our clinical site partners.

Students admitted to the Nursing program must sign the following statement: "I have not been denied licensure by the Iowa Board of Nursing. I do not have/hold a license that is currently suspended, surrendered or revoked in any United States jurisdiction. I do not have/hold a license/registration that is currently suspended, surrendered or revoked in another country due to disciplinary action."

Effective July 1, 2009 the Iowa Board of Nursing requires copies of sentencing orders with all applications for licensure.  Specific requirements pertaining to a criminal record and the effect or RN licensure in Iowa can be found at:  http://www.state.ia_law/iowa_extracts. html.  Students interested in licensure in a state other than Iowa should contact that particular state Board of Nursing to identify policies and requlations.
