UW-Green Bay (UWGB) is required to comply with the Wisconsin Caregiver Law (1997 Wisconsin Act 27).  The completion of a caregiver background check includes the review of criminal records for convictions of serious crimes or a history of improper behavior.  Students accepted into the nursing program must complete a background check through CastleBranch AND complete a WI Background Disclosure (BID) form disclosing any acts, crimes, or convictions prior to full admission to the BSN program.  Information regarding this process is provided to students immediately upon acceptance into the program. Students with a criminal history may be denied access to clinical placements at the discretion of the clinical agency.  Consequently, should a student have a history of convictions of serious crimes or history of improper behavior, UWGB cannot guarantee clinical/practicum placement, the ability to register/take the nursing licensure exam (NCLEX-RN), or graduation within the usual program timing (i.e., 2.5 years of the nursing curriculum).
