   ashnem replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Nursing

   My thought and experiences with drug testing in general: I just graduated in December. Our school did not do drug testing prior to admission and I don't know if there was a policy in place that allowed them to do so for just cause. One of the clinica...
