ZLB Plasma employment drug testing?

[nurse maryjane]

Not sure if I'm putting this in the right spot, so mods move me if I'm in the wrong spot. OK so I got this job with ZLB plasma (plasma donation facility) and they haven't once mentioned a drug test. I wanted to be prepared, so I read and reread the sub sticky and practiced and got all prepped. So I aced the interview and they didn't make mention one of dropping a sample. So I played it off and when I went back for the tour, they had me fill out a form for an extensive background check, saying that my employment was contingent on passing the BGC.....got the letter back making me a formal job offer (I accepted....who's gonna turn down $20/hr LOL)....just called them to confirm my start date, and I said "OK so we're all set and I'm good, right?" And they confirmed and said I was all set to start Wed @ 9.....so does this mean they don't test since they've told me I passed the BGC and I'm hired or do ya'll think they're gonna spring it on me out of the blue? Also, if anybody's ever worked for this company, do you know what kind of testing they do? How long should I carry around the sub in my purse? should I just always keep it on me? I'd love any feedback you guys are willing to give...Thanx!!

You should be golden. They didn't offer me the position until I passed my drug test.

I think that's what's got me so paranoid tho....they never even TESTED me or made mention of a test....just did the BGC and that was that...guess I'll find out on Wednesday...

BTW, what kind of test did they give you?

Although... it's not certain. I've never been tested without a prior warning.

I have - three times... been told I would have to test and then didn't actually have to. I guess that's a 'psychological' drug test, lol

I'd say - if the job's important enough to you - carry some QF in your glove box or somewhere you can get to in a reasonable amount of time. Heck even your pocket, you'd just have to move it prior to going into the testing facility.

I consider QF 'Insurance'. And at minor cost really. and at that rate, in less than a day's work, you'll cover the quick fix, shipping, and MOST certainly the peace of mind.

I agree with this. I just bought two different quick fix kits. One from amazon cause it was super cheap and one from their main website. I just wanted to see if it was the same product (I'll post back in a new thread or something and review/compare). $17 vs. $40 is a huge difference. Anyway I want one to keep around in case of an emergency testing (workplace injury, etc).
