It's been almost 48 hours since my test and they haven't called to say I didn't pass so I'd say I'm fine. thanks for all the feedback!

Thanks I guess I just needed some reassurance!! Kind of caught me off guard to hear drug and alcohol screen.

They did a urine and blood sample. Ive seen some tests can detect alcohol metabolites for 80 hours but this wouldn't make sense to me. I don't have a drinking problem and this wouldn't affect my patient care 3 days later.

Okay so I have my first job offer as a Nurse at a local hospital. I had a few drinks Saturday night and went back Tuesday for a drug and alcohol test. I don't do drugs and i don't drink often. I would never drink the night before work or anything like that. Is this going to show up positive? Is this test just to see if you're showing up drunk or if you've had a drink in the last week? Any experience with this would help!!! They obviously can't not hire someone because they've drank within the last 80 hours?
