A Urine Drug Screen may also occur upon reasonable suspicion. Immunizations and TB skin test must be obtained by student. Costs are based upon student’s insurance coverage and co-payments.

Students are also required to pay an NCLEX registration fee of approximately $200 with Pearson Vue (the organization that administers the NCLEX exam).
