BASIS FOR DENIAL OF LICENSURE OR CERTIFICATION
According to § 54.1-3007 of the Code of Virginia, the Board of Nursing may refuse to admit a candidate to any examination, or refuse to issue a license or certificate, to any applicant with certain criminal convictions. Likewise, the Board may refuse licensure or certification to an applicant who uses alcohol or drugs to the extent that it renders the applicant unsafe to practice, or who has a mental or physical illness rendering the applicant unsafe to practice (referred to as a history of impairment).
Criminal convictions for ANY felony can cause an applicant to be denied nursing licensure or nurse aide certification.
Misdemeanor convictions involving moral turpitude may also prevent licensure or certification. Moral turpitude means convictions related to lying, cheating or stealing. Examples include, but are not limited to: reporting false information to the police, shoplifting or concealment of merchandise, petit larceny, welfare fraud, embezzlement, and writing worthless checks. While information must be gathered regarding all convictions, misdemeanor convictions other than those involving moral turpitude will not prevent an applicant from becoming a licensed nurse or C.N.A. However, if the misdemeanor conviction information also suggests a possible impairment issue, such as DUI and illegal drug possession convictions, then there still may be a basis for denial during the licensure or certification application process.
Each applicant is considered on an individual basis. There are NO criminal convictions or impairments that are an absolute bar to nursing licensure or nurse aide certification.

DUE TO COVID-19 ALL CLASSES ARE ONLINE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
During the COVID-19 Pandemic we too are doing our part to ensure we are using safe practices and following the guidelines mandated by the state and the Virginia Board of Nursing. We are fortunate to be one of few schools in Virginia to have online classes that were approved by the Virginia Board of Nursing, before COVID. With that said , we offer our students well-developed and structured online courses. The online courses are presented via video lecture with various test your knowledge exercises in each lesson module. Skills lab sessions are completed, as scheduled, at the school. Clinicals will be completed, as scheduled, at one of our contracted facilities. The safety of our students, and staff are our main priority. Therefore, we will ensure all facilities are using safe practices before attending clinicals. Students will be subject to COVID testing at the clinical sites.
