Students entering the ADN program at GTC must complete clinical hours as per the State Board of Nursing (BON); these clinical hours would only be accomplished at a clinical site. Students will only be allowed to complete the clinical portion of their course if the clinical facilities receive a satisfactory clearance, enabling the students to enter their facilities.

The ADN program does not create clinical clearance policies. GTC ADN program adheres to the clinical requirements that the clinical facilities request or set. All students must abide by these policies set by the clinical facilities.

Students could be denied or approved to enter the clinical facility. This determination of denial or approval is not based on the ADN program but on the clinical facilities that open their doors for student training.

In the event a student has an unsatisfactory background check or urine drug screen or fails to abide by the clinical facilities' policies, the student will not be able to complete the clinical portion of the course since the BON requires the completion of successful hours. In addition, the student will need to address these unsatisfactory results with the clinical facility and next steps.

Note: Please do not address these unsatisfactory results with any ADN faculty or staff at GTC.

Unsatisfactory results:

Step #1- The student will be alerted that there is an unsatisfactory result

Step #2- The student will be directed to reach out to the facility and get the student's next steps from the facility

Step #3: - The student will reach out to the school and share the student's next steps (without sharing details), keeping in mind that a student must complete the clinical portion to complete the entire course.
