What kind of pre-employment drug screen do most employers do?

[northw3]

I want to apply for jobs but I'm worried about getting a hair test for the pre-employment drug test. I made a stupid decision at a party so I'm just worried about failing a hair test (yes I know it was dumb and I would never do it again ever). What if I just walk out of the place if they want to test my hair? Is that a refusal and automatic fail and would they report that to the board? The nursing community in my town is kinda small so I would be worried about getting blacklisted/getting a bad reputation if I did something like that and never getting hired in this town

I'm not worried about a UDS at all and know I can pass that, is that what most employers do these days? just test urine?

I think most places do a 10-panel urine. You're probably fine.

any more opinions?

You could shave your head!

Seriously, I don't think many people do hair tests. I would call anonymously to HR and ask what type of testing they do. Say you are doing research for a school project or something like that
