Missed pre-employment Drug screen

[evazquez232]

Hi everyone! I just got into my dream nurse residency program and missed the 48 hour time frame to do my drug test. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone and what their experience was? I emailed the recruiter already but have not heard back. Super scared that I might loose this job opportunity because of it.

Why did you miss it? That would be the biggest concern probably of the recruiter. I'll be honest, they might be concerned that if you can't make a 48 hour window how will you make it to work on time.

I am not sure how I missed it I got so many emails from them that day and they said it could be a week from the day I accepted the offer to get that email so I don't  know why I didn't think it would come right after. I feel so dumb for missing it and I could 100% of made it to the appointment if I would have seen the email to go in. I am hoping they will be understanding but I feel like they might not. 😞
