Are there background checks required?
Yes, background checks are a requirement of some clinical facilities with which Truckee Meadows Community College has a contract for nursing student clinical experience. If a student declines fingerprinting or if the background is unsatisfactory to the facility, the student will not be permitted by the facility to participate in the clinical portion of the program. Current and prospective students are advised that they will be withdrawn from the program if clinical requirements are not able to be met for any reason. TMCC will not be responsible for obtaining background checks and will not receive the results of any background investigations.
