Nurse Drug Test Questions (Steroids)

Published

Hello, this is not a thread to debate steroid use. You are welcome to post whatever you want about health concerns/ethical problems, but I will ignore them.

Anyways, do entrance drug tests for nurses test for anabolic steroids?

Thanks.

I'm just looking for a yes/no answer. Couldn't find anything under search about if steroids were tested for.

I don't think drug tests for nursing school test for anabolic steroids.

I agree, not common in pre-employment drug testing. However, if you're an athlete (NCAA, NFL, etc)....

This is something you will have to find out by posing the question to your school of nursing.
