It's not a drug test. It's a nicotine test done via a urine sample. If you're positive you cannot work at CCF until you go through a smoking cessation program. You're asked to provide a blood test as well but it's not to test for drugs, it's for TB, Hep, etc. I believe it's only fair that CCF tests for nicotine, etc since medical professionals will be handling, ambulating and caring for some of the most sick of sick patients from all over the world. If you can't care for yourself then how can you be able to care for others? CCF is a great place to work and the little that you give you're rewarded ten-fold in return.
