  • Urinalysis Drug Screening

    A requirement for clinical eligibility and employment at participating healthcare facilities is successfully passing a Urinalysis (UA) drug screening.

    Please note that this screening includes testing for marijuana. While marijuana is legal under Oregon state law, it remains illegal under federal law. Marijuana may remain detectable in your system for 30 days or longer, depending on usage.

     Drug screening will be conducted at the start of the program and may also be required as a condition of employment by healthcare facilities. Failure to pass the UA drug screening may result in dismissal from the program or rescission of an employment offer.

    Many hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities maintain zero-tolerance drug policies and may deny employment or terminate employees who test positive, including for legal or medical marijuana use.

  • Will you be able to successfully pass a Urinalysis (UA) drug screening?*
