[Paulson, Jennifer A., R.N.]

Mayo Clinic Health System states: "The candidate will not be considered for hire for a period of twelve months after a failed test. If there is evidence that a candidate has altered a specimen, the candidate may not be considered for hire at any time in the future. "

Hello to all who perform pre-placement drug testing:

We started doing pre-placement drug testing last year and our policy does not address (intentionally) when a candidate can reapply for a job. The staffing partners are asked this by the candidates all the time. I personally feel that this should be addressed. I wanted to get a sense for this group on how you address this issue.

At other institutions where I have worked the policies ranged from 6 months to a year.

Thanks,
Phil
