it all worked out. as it was i am employed another facility within tue same group so i was grandfathered in.

looks like it is becomming more common. makes sense really. but the whole "im going to dictate what u do on your off time" by dangling your job or potential for a job is a bit annoying. guess if u want that job bad enough you will make the necessary changes. ive been without for about 28 days now so i hope i will be ok with the urine screening. i look at it as an opportunity to kick a harmful habit anyways. thanks for your comments

yes. i was kinda surprised. i work for another hospital in their group and have nit neen questioned. oh well good excuse to kick cigs to the curb for good. i tested negative on a home cotinine kit so i guess thats a good thing. we shall see i guess.

This has probably been asked already but here goes. i am transferring to another hospital. i will also be required to take a urine drug test which includes nicotine. the drugs im noy worried about. I quit smoking for good 4 weeks ago and have not smoked anything since. my question is this: will i be on the clear when it comes time to pass the nicotine portion. i used to smoke 6 to 7 cigs. sometimes less and sometimes not at all per day. i tried out a cotinine test kit which read negative. also does anyone know how sensative the testing procedures for urine actually are? thank you
