So I'm told that certain hospitals will require pharmacy interns to submit a nicotine test (along with a 10 panel drug test) for their 8 week rotation. Is this true/typical? Seems a bit excessive.
I'm not a tobacco user and advocate against tobacco-use but this seems strange. Has anyone else heard of this/experienced this? I know some hospitals are "nicotine free" but to test a pharmacy intern on a 6-8 week rotation for nicotine?
Heck my school doesn't even require a drug test for admission yet you have to pass a nicotine test to work for free?
