Question by cary j: Will Suboxone show up on a criminal back ground check for nursing school?!?
[rewrite]I have been on this medication for over a year in the state of Alabama. I have read a few posts mention that if you get a prescription for it that it can show up on a criminal background check??? I have JUST been accepted , but now have drug tests / criminal background checks etc… I am aware that if i am on it when im drug tested it will likely show up depending on the drug screen but I was planning on getting off of it.. BUT , this whole thing with the background check and it showing up on it is a TOTAL bummer !! Is this a state by state thing? does it depend on who does the background check?? And if it is a definitive yes, should I simply tell them up front that I am on the drug? I cannot imagine them allowing me to be on this medication, much less even having used it in the past. Another concern would be that even if I can go to school would the state boards allow me to sit for the NCLEX with this in my past? I have NOT been convicted of any crime or been admitted into any mental health wards or rehabs. This is an opiate treatment drug but not exactly a rehab.. Any input would be appreciated!! Thanks so much in advance !!! 🙂
