Legal Requirements for Nursing Assistant Licensure

Before becoming licensed, students must answer the following questions:

  1. “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?”

  2. “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?”

  3. 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.
