Nursing school requires a drug test. I understand it is very comprehensive and covers many drugs. I take prescibed hydrocodone for pain, will this be a problem?

And hydrocodone being an opiate, it will show up in the screen. Just disclose it and show the prescription when asked. You might want to ask your school if there are any restrictions on when you can take it though. I'm actually surprised - I'm in my second semester of NS, and in clinicals, and still haven't had to take one. It makes no difference to me, I only take what I'm prescribed, but I'm surprised the hospitals don't require it.
