New York Presbyterian Pre-employment drug screen?

Published

Hey guys, just got a job offer from NYP. Problem is a couple months ago, I traveled to Vancouver Canada and was offered some cannabis gummy bears. Cannbais is now legalized in Canada and I took one because I always wondered what it feels like.

I just realize that NYP does pre-employment drug screen. What do they test for?!? Is it just urine test?! Do they do hair test?!?

Don't know of ANY employer who does a hair test for employment. That said, leave the wacky tobacky alone moving forward, because you can be randomly tested and you don't need that kind of trouble.

Lol @ hair test. It's a 10 panel urine test through Quest, when your results are in they will call you and let you know that you are medically cleared.

Yup stay away from that. You'd hate to get caught up in something and need to get drug tested to clear your name. I work for NYP and had a patient siphon dilaudid out of a PCA on two shifts I was working. You don't want to give people an unrelated excuse to fire you.

Oh wow good info to have - I just accepted too! Does anyone know if they test for tobacco/if that is an exclusion criteria for hire?

I highly doubt they'll do a hair test but they will ask for urine.
