Viewpoint Screening has carved out a real niche in nursing compliance — background checks, drug screening, a health portal, and eLearning bundled into one student-paid package, with a chat bubble for support. Programs including the University of Central Arkansas and the University of North Alabama route students through it. Our objection isn’t that it doesn’t work. It’s the bundle math, and what happens when a student’s problem doesn’t fit in a chat window.
The unbundling math
Viewpoint sells students a single package covering background check, drug screening, a health document portal, and eLearning. Prices are set per school and per program, so there is no public list — students see their number only at checkout. Ours are published, and unbundled:
That is $105 for the full core stack at one-student retail pricing — and program-level pricing with on-site collection events brings the drug screen down to as little as $25 per student, depending on cohort size. For context on what large-vendor bundles cost students elsewhere, published MyCB packages run $110.75 to $153.98 across schools from Iowa to Virginia. Add what a bundle cannot: unlimited free administrator and faculty accounts, no long-term contract, and a portal live 24–48 hours after we get your requirement list. Students who need only one piece buy only that piece from our order pages instead of a mandatory bundle.
Support: chat bubble vs. named human
School instructions for Viewpoint route students to a “Click to Chat” bubble for issues like rescheduling a drug test. Chat is fine until it isn’t — a rejected titer three days before clinicals is not a chat-bubble problem. At Drug Free Schools, every document is reviewed within 24 hours with a specific fix-it note, and support is 7 days a week by phone, text or email, for students and school staff, at a number your coordinators already have. We have been answering that phone as a family since 1995.
Where we’re honestly different
- On-site events. We come to campus and screen a whole cohort in one visit — drug testing and N95 fit testing — strongest in the Southeast and Midwest, Quest network everywhere else.
- Compliance-first, not screening-first. Tracking every titer, TB test, and CPR card for health science programs is the core business, with screening built around it — not the other way about.
- Four-year background refresh reality. Programs commonly require re-checks during longer programs; ours run $50 as a recheck instead of a fresh full package.
- Transparent student pricing. Students see the price before they pay, and directors can explain the whole fee structure in one sentence.

Frequently asked questions
What is Viewpoint Screening?
A screening company serving nursing and health programs with background checks, drug screening, a health document portal, and eLearning modules. Published examples of programs using it include the University of Central Arkansas College of Nursing and the University of North Alabama's Anderson College of Nursing and Health Professions.
What does a Viewpoint Screening package cost?
It varies by school and program, and students select their institution’s package at checkout rather than seeing one public price list. Ask your program for the exact all-in figure before comparing — and ask any vendor to put the per-student total in writing.
How does Drug Free Schools price the same stack?
Unbundled and lower: $30/student portal with unlimited free admin seats, $40 Quest-network drug screen (or from $25/student at an on-site campus event, depending on cohort size), and Checkr background checks at $35–$70 depending on package. Programs pay only for what they actually require.
Who reviews student documents at Drug Free Schools?
Every document is reviewed within 24 hours through the Drug Free Schools AI review process, which is fast and returns specific, actionable rejection notes.
Can Drug Free Schools test students on campus?
Yes. We run on-site drug screening and N95 fit-testing events that clear entire cohorts in one visit, plus nationwide coverage through the Quest network for distance and online students.
