  • 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.

    I herein submit my application for admission into the Nursing, Bachelor of Science program at Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU). I declare my intention to enroll in the SWOSU Nursing, Bachelor of Science program and declare Nursing, Bachelor of Science as my academic major. I understand the Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) Department of Nursing admits a limited number of students due to available resources and/or faculty, and although I may meet or exceed the minimum requirements for admission, circumstances may prevent the SWOSU Department of Nursing from admitting all students who have met the admission criteria. I also agree that if I am admitted, I will read and abide by the most current SWOSU Department of Nursing student handbook, which can be found on the SWOSU website. I understand that the SWOSU Department of Nursing will often communicate with me via email or the online learning management system, and that I will check my SWOSU email and the online learning management system announcements several times weekly if admitted.
