Hey everybody! Quick question....have any of you used castle branch drug testing facility for your drug test to be admitted into your schools nursing program? Just wondering if the urine test will be supervised. A simple yes or no is appreciated!!

In my case, it was not supervised. That is to say, I was told I had 4 minutes in the bathroom to pee in a cup. I was alone in the bathroom. Not sure if that is what you are asking.
Yes thank you! Also may I ask what year you took the test?
This year.
I should add, however, that I had to empty my pockets and lock up all of my belongings. I could not flush the toilet or wash my hands before submitting the sample.
Thank you so much

Yes she watched me pee. After having kids you really don't care who sees your bits hehe!!
You used castle ranch facility also? How did comment above not get supervised and you did? Do they randomly select or something

They are probably supposed to supervise, but may not like doing it. It's a mixed bag.
I'm asking supervision in a sense of is the lady literally watching you pee. If she is outside the door I won't count that as supervision

I was not supervised when I did it. You're asked to empty your pockets prior to you going in to pee in a cup in the privacy of the bathroom. They put a chemical in the toilet that turns color so that they can tell if you tampered with the urine in any way. That's why you're told not to flush. If you flush, it gets voided, they make you re-schedule and come back another day. It's pretty much an honor system.

I think I know where you are going with this, and it is very hard to keep urine at correct temperature if it is not coming directly from your body. This is coming from a former occupational health/UDS screener.
