Cotinine Cut off levels?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

SOOOOO. I quit smoking on June 15th, and on the 4th of July I hit a cigar. I ended up getting an interview where I got offered a job immediately. It has been 28 days since I've smoked, and 7 days since the cigar incident. I took my nicotine test today. I passed my home test that had cut off levels under 200 ng. Does anyone have any in sight on this? I really want this job, and I'm praying that I had enough time.

Please no negative comments, I quit smoking, and I'm a damn good nurse.

What lab? That's the only way anyone would be able to know. It depends on what their cutoff is. You could google it.

I honestly don't know. I went to a place called concentra, and they shipped it from there. I'm wondering how many days it takes to go from under 200ng to like under 25ng. My home test were clean 4 days prior to my test.

Did you try googling it? Because, honestly, that's pretty much what anyone here would do in order to answer your question.
