Quick answer: Most Ohio nursing licenses and many health care jobs require BCI and FBI fingerprint background checks, with results sent directly to the licensing board or employer.
Nursing Licensure
Nursing applicants commonly complete both BCI and FBI checks through WebCheck. Results are sent to the licensing board, so be sure to use the board’s exact reason code and address.
Other Health Care Roles
Home health aides, nursing home staff, pharmacy workers and many other health care employees may also need fingerprint checks. Your employer will tell you which checks are required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get fingerprinted before I finish nursing school?
Follow your board’s timing instructions, since results may need to be recent when your application is reviewed.
How do I know my results were sent to the board?
Keep your receipt and follow up with the board if you do not see your check listed after a reasonable time.
Background check requirements, fees and processing times are set by Ohio BCI, the FBI and the agency requesting your check. Always confirm details with your employer or licensing board.
