• Required Drug Screening:Students can get a drug test at any reputable drug testing location or facility. Wiz-Quiz in Boulder will drug test Compass Nursing Arts students for a discount. Please note some students may be on a medication that may lead to a positive results initially. *Positive results may require second drug test. We have never yet, had a student not qualify for clinical when needing to do the second tier of testing. There are no guarantees on results, and a positive test could prevent a student from attending clinical. Most, if not all healthcare agencies and facilities will require a drug test result that is negative prior to employment. We feel this requirement prepares our students for working, and supporting our goal of promoting patient safety. For questions about drug testing, contact Wiz -Quiz in Boulder (737 29th St, Boulder, CO 80301)  by phone 720-975-4114, or email wizquizboulder@gmail.com.
