Will Suboxone Show Up on a Criminal Back Ground Check for Nursing School?!?

Question by cary j: Will Suboxone show up on a criminal back ground check for nursing school?!?
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 !!! 🙂

Getting a prescription isn’t a crime and I don’t see how they’d have access to your prescription records for a background check. I worked in several pharmacies and to get prescription records you had to sign for the printout yourself and show ID. POA’s could get the records as well as parents of minors, but there were no other exceptions…certainly not for a company doing a background check!
