Hi, I am just curious how drug testing is performed at your job facility? Does someone go into the room with you? How do random tests work? Does someone accompany you to the lab? Are they done at your facility, or do they send you to another facility?
I'm curious because I've been using marijuana edibles daily (except for clinical days of course) throughout nursing school in order to cope with the stress, to sleep, and to focus on studying. I've done very well in nursing school, and now it's time to search for a job. Let me be clear, I do not intend to work under the influence, and I never have. On clinical days, I simply eat a quarter of a cookie after dinner (after clinical hours have ended) in order to wind down and sleep well. And on other days, I eat a quarter of a cookie after I've attended to my daily responsibilities. I do not drink alcohol, and I will never take prescription narcotics unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY (which is, hopefully, never).
In the past, I have been able to use artificial urine in order to pass drug tests, but that was because I was alone in the bathroom. Which is why I ask, will someone be in the room with me?
As a precaution, I have quit my habit while I job search, and I intend on using my own (clean) urine for my pre-employment drug screen because I'm not playing with my career/license like that. But, I plan to pick my habit back up after I learn the inner workings of my facility's drug testing procedures, because anxiolytics simply aren't an option. I'm just curious, and planning ahead. Rest easy, if isn't a possibility, I will do without.
