Legal Requirements for Nursing Assistant Licensure
Before becoming licensed, students must answer the following questions:
- “Have you ever been convicted of a crime or have you ever had accepted by a court a plea of guilty or nolo contendre? Have you received a deferred judgment or deferred prosecution?”
- “Are you now, or were you for the 12 months preceding the date of this application, addicted to any controlled substance; a regular user of any controlled substance without a prescription; and/or habitually intemperate in the use of intoxicating liquor?”
- If any question is answered “yes,” students need to meet with the Chairwoman of the Nursing Department for counseling because the Colorado State Board of Nursing has specific requirements for licensure.
