What does the pre-employment physical usually involve?

[whatdoIdonow?]

Hi Everybody,

I just got off the phone, following an interview yesterday, and was told by the floor manager at a long term care facility that she had two available positions. I picked the one that would allow me to learn the most and still have some available nursing supervision. She said she would now turn it over to HR and they would do my background check.

I have heard of the pre-employment physical and assume they will be doing one. Could someone please tell me how this is handled- do I pay? Do I go to my own doctor? Is it just titers and PPD's like in nursing school?

Thanks in advance for any input!

@Inori, were you asked about current medications or current medical conditions?

I was asked about medications and past med history. Other than that general physical plus blood draw for titers, urine drug screen, vision test, and ppd
