Healthcare organizations need to be cautious about who they hire. All the information you will access is confidential and dangerous if put into the wrong hands. You will be working with employees' and patients' personal information and must maintain confidentiality. As a nurse, you will also work around medications and controlled narcotics. Assure the interviewer that you are willing to comply with any background check, credit check, and drug test they require.

As with any interview question, you want to focus on being completely honest in your response. As embarrassing as it may be, if you do not think you will pass the drug test or have a criminal background, you need to inform the interviewer now. If passing the drug test will not be an issue and you do not have a criminal history or credit problem, assure the interviewer that you will have no problem passing any tests or checks.

"I am happy to comply with any background check required. My criminal record is clean, but I did have poor credit four years ago. I went through a nasty divorce, and our house went into foreclosure. I have been slowly building my credit and recently qualified for a mortgage to purchase another home. I do not participate in drug use, and I will maintain a clean record if you hire me for this role."
"Thank you for letting me know. I will be happy to consent to any background checks, credit checks, and drug screenings. I won't have any incidents that will pop up on these screenings."
