CCBC Nursing Program Drug Testing

Published

Hi,

Does anyone know how many times CCBC drug tests during the program? Is it just once at the beginning of the program? I suffer from frequent migraines, and medical marijuana has been a god send at reducing symptoms and even the frequency of headaches. I am assuming I will need to go back to regular meds because I don't think there is an exemption for medical patients. Any feedback would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

I’m not sure exactly what CCBC is, I’m assuming a school maybe. In nursing there is always the chance that you could be randomly/unexpectedly drug tested though. And as far as I know there are pretty much no hospitals that would allow an employee exemption even with a legal medical marijuana card, unfortunately.
