drug testing for nursing school

[Arizona2bnurse1]

I was curious as to when I might be tested. I have orientation to discuss the overall program August 8. I am in the cep program where I will do clinicals at a community college which doesn't start until January but will take online classes at a university called Asu that starts August 16. So I wanna know if I will be tested at orientation or soon after or maybe not until clinicals start

If you're worried about failing a drug test and you're unable to stop yourself from doing whatever at the risk of possibly being kicked out of nursing school and never being able to return, then I would suggest putting your acceptance on hold (some will let you hold off until the next year if you need to, so maybe check with your program) until you get to the root of the problem and get your life in order. I hope you listen to everyone's advice and consider the possible reprocussions of failing a drug test in school, or worse, practicing under the influence. Please consider your options and maybe talk to a professional about why you're having a hard time stopping whatever has a hold on you. Best of luck!!
