Nursing School Expulsion Concerns

I'm sorry to hear about the situation. Could you provide more context? For instance, what is the reason they might be expelled? These details would help me provide more specific legal information.

I'm sorry to hear about this situation. In New Jersey, a school has the right to enforce its policies, including drug testing. The consequences of failing a drug test can vary:
- Possible dismissal from the program
- Mandatory counseling or treatment
- Possible reporting to the State Board of Nursing
It's advised to consult with a local attorney for detailed advice.

I see. Does the school in Pennsylvania have a specific policy about drug testing failures? Pennsylvania law and the school's policies may also apply to her situation.

I understand your concern. In this case, the school in Pennsylvania has the right to enforce its policy. If expelled, it could also affect her ability to attend other nursing schools or obtain a nursing license in New Jersey. It's recommended to consult with a lawyer in Pennsylvania.

While recreational marijuana use is legal in NJ, schools, workplaces, and other institutions can still enforce their own drug policies. This includes schools in PA where your friend is attending. It's important to understand the specific rules of her school and state laws in PA.

While it's commendable that she has refrained from smoking, it may not influence the school's decision if she's already failed a drug test. However, her commitment to change can be conveyed to the school or used in her defense if applicable. Legal advice from an attorney is recommended.
