Information for School of Nursing and Health Sciences Students

Students must be aware that clinical placement sites reserve the right to deny, in their sole discretion, a student's clinical placement based upon the results of the background check, drug screening, noncompliance with safety or vaccination requirements, or other site-specific requirements.   Procedures related to clearance for clinical experiences are documented in the program handbooks.   The Molloy University Barbara H. Hagan School of Nursing and Health Sciences ("The School") is not responsible for the clinical ineligibility of any student for any reason, including but not limited to whether a history of conviction, potential drug use, or to other circumstances were disclosed to the School of the University prior to the student's matriculation . If a student's clinical placement at a clinical placement site is denied, the School does not guarantee the availability of an alternative clinical placement.  The School or University is under no obligation to affirmatively seek out additional clinical placement sites that may be willing to accept a student who has been denied a clinical placement. If a student cannot be placed in an established clinical placement for any reason, including, but not limited to, a failed background check or drug test, clinical clearance criteria, or other finding, the student will not be able to complete the program and will therefore be removed and dismissed from the respective program.

Clearance requirements vary by clinical site and are subject to change at any time.   Students are responsible for all costs associated with the drug test and background check, along with all other clinical clearance procedures. Students entering the clinical sequence of the nursing program curriculum will be informed as to the timeline and deadline for completion of all clinical clearance requirements. 

    Students must be aware that clinical placement sites reserve the right to deny, in their sole discretion, a student's clinical placement based upon the results of the background check, drug screening, noncompliance with safety or vaccination requirements, or other site-specific requirements.   Procedures related to clearance for clinical experiences are documented in the nursing student program handbooks.  The Molloy University Barbara H.

  • Licensure Information

    RN Licensure Information

    New York State National Council License Exam for RNS (NCLEX-RN)
    Students must complete 128 credits, which includes both required nursing courses and liberal arts and science courses, resulting in a baccalaureate degree. Upon completion of all courses, students will apply for licensure as a registered nurse and take the NCLEX-RN licensure examination.  Successful completion of the NCLEX and state licensure confers status as a registered professional nurse. Information on the licensure exam can be accessed at www.ncsbn.org/nclex.htm.For New York State, Article 130 of the Education Law, Part 28 Regents Rule notes that "all information indicating that an applicant has been convicted of a crime, or has committed an act which raises a reasonable question as to the applicant's moral character, shall be referred to the director of the Office of Professional Discipline." The rule notes that once referred, and investigation of the circumstances surrounding such conviction or act is held. The review results in the submission of a recommendation to a review panel. The panel can either rule in favor of the applicant namely that 'the moral character is adequate for licensure" or that a substantial question exists about the moral character of the applicant.Applicants are entitled to a hearing appealing the decision. Further, they may reapply 18 months after a negative ruling. The Committee of Professions has the final determination of eligibility for licensure for any applicant.  Students' assessments of their personal histories may lead them to consider alternative career paths. Specific information regarding licensure eligibility should be obtained from the state in which you intend to practice. https://www.op.nysed.gov/professions/registered-professional-nursing/frequently-asked-questions
