SWOSU Department of Nursing Marijuana Policy

The use of cannabis, marijuana and/or any form of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is illegal under federal law, and is prohibited under SWOSU policy. Nursing students attend clinical sites that receive federal funding. In addition, nurses and nursing students have a safety-sensitive job duty to their client. A positive cannabis/marijuana/THC drug screen will result in immediate dismissal from the nursing program, regardless of medical marijuana card status. To comply with guidelines set forth by our clinical sites, all SWOSU Department of Nursing students will be required to complete random drug screening. The SWOSU Department of Nursing has contracted with an independent agency to complete the screening. All testing will be completed before the beginning of the clinical experience.
