Not sure how I would be classified...

Okay here's the deal-io I was a regular smoker 3-4 times a day up until November I quite smoking for 2 months and then just occasionally started smoking again. 3-4 hits maybe 2 nights a week on average. Except for last week I smoked 4 nights...but still only 3-4 hits (pipe only no bong or anything). Last time I smoked was Thursday and I received a call yesterday stating I have a job interview Wednesday at a large hospital. Now I know the hospital only does the assay test first and then only sends it to the lab if the initial test comes up positive. So, I just need to pass the initial dip test.

I took a home test this morning with undiluted right when I woke up pee, I figure this is the best way to be sure either way. Well, it came up positive. So, now I'm freaking out a bit. I have to run to GNC to get the creatine powder tomorrow and the B2/riboflavin. I plan on doing a test run on Tuesday. Is this enough time for a test run or am I shooting myself in the foot when it comes to the creatine levels?

Also, is there any credence to eating a high fat diet the evening before? (My interview is at 1 pm so if I am tested I'd imagine that it wouldn't be until 2 or 2:30 pm)

I'm female 5'4 and 125 lbs. I don't know if I can be good to go by Wednesday. Thus wanting to do a test run the day before, knowing is always better of course.

Any advice?

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. A test run? The only way to do a test run would be to pay for your own lab urine screen where you get a quantitative measure of your creatinine levels. But simply put, no, 1 day is not enough to change your creatinine level appreciably. Effective creatine loading takes 2-3 days of 3-5 rounded TBSP per day.

Yes, you want to eat a high fat diet and do as little activity as possible in the 2-3 days leading up to your test. What gives you the impression you are going to be drug tested as part of the interview process? I work at a hospital in direct patient care and we never drug test people when they come in to interview. They get tested weeks later after they have been offered the job contingent upon passing background check and piss test.

Good luck.

What I meant was yes, I have to start the creatine powder tomorrow to give it the 2-3 days, but by doing the test run on Tuesday will it lower my creatine level too much for Wednesday?

It's not the hospital that is doing the hiring it's for a vendor of the hospital but I am subjected to the testing at the hospital due to the contract as if I were an employee of the hospital. I do not know for sure if I will be tested Wednesday (I am hoping for more time) but I also need to be prepared if it becomes a hired on the spot situation. They've already begun the background check I know this since they've already pulled my DMV report. The company is a new vendor and needs to be outfitted with employees to be able to start on 3/18, so I don't see it being a couple of weeks for the drug testing.

If your test is on Wednesday, thats too short a period of time to pull off an effective dilution regime. You should consider subbing with either a clean persons sample or synthetic if you really want this job.
