how often do hospitals drug test their employees?
i know most hospitals drug test applicants for potential employment..but do many hospitals randomly test their employees? i am a responsible recreational user of marijuana, but i have quit to pursue a career as a hospital pharmacy tecnician. i’d like to smoke again in my spare time (again i’m responsible, so away from work, heavy machinery, driving, etc..)but am worried that a random test could hurt my chances of keeping a job. what are the chances of me getting subjected to random drug testing after gaining employment in this feild?
Yes, hospital will routinely test employees since NO ONE want a junkie, even a “responsible” junkie, working in a hospital. There is a word called LIABILITY. You can be tested at ANY time.

A hospital I worked at checked 2x a year, but randoms are random. If you make even a minor mistake you will be subject to testing. Not to mention if you have a supervisor who dislikes you for the slightest reason you might get noticed. Employers don’t like junkies even though you AREN”T a junkie. They don ‘t like harmless marijuana smokers either. If you wanna get into this field go home after your shift and get completely drunk, because as long as you’re sober by the time you gotta work it’s acceptable.
You do not need to keep recreational drugs in the house if you’re in medicine. Remember that most drugs are out of your system in a week if you use your head. You really need three days of a lot of activity, lots of water and tea, and maybe an enema the day before you go back to work. Smoke on week-long or longer vacations only. Remember that harder drugs like coke or smack only take three days to get out of your system. Hallucinogens like LSD or mescaline or ‘shrooms don’t show up at all. Salvia is also a good alternative if you use strong enough stuff, and it’s legal.
