Can anyone tell me the procedure for a hospital drug urine test? Does someone actually watch?

Question

I have to take a drug test tomorrow for employment and am a nervous wreck wondering what exactly the procedure is.

Answer 1

Geeze people, she said a PRE-HIRE urine drug test, not labs!  If they do it legally (which is just like the DOT version), they make you empty your pockets so you can't sneak chemicals/ bags of urine/ etc. into the room.  They'll have the water turned off to the bathroom you go in (usually one in a lab), then put methalene blue dye (another color is acceptable, but I can't remember which it is) in the toilet, so they can make sure you didn't dip the cup in the toilet to dilute the pee.  They'll give you a cup with a thermometer strip stuck to the side (so they can make sure the pee is body tempurature), and send you in to "fill 'er up".  You're not allowed to flush or wash your hands until you bring the sample back out.  You or the tech will pour the urine into 2 (sometimes 1) vials, then they'll stick these sticker-seals over the vials (you have to watch this). You then initial the vials to say that that IS your urine.  Then you can go flush & wash your hands.

And no, no one stays in there with you (I think they can only LEGALLY do this if you're taking a test because you're on probation or parole!).

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

no, no, no, its easy! all you have to do is go to the bathroom, they'll give you a clear plastic cup and you pee in it. then your all done. nothing to worry about.

Answer 3

No they don't watch you. They make you get into a gown and send you into a bathroom that usually has the "pee pan" already attached to

toilet, or they will give you something to pee into-but no one watches.

Answer 4

you go in a bathroom and go in a cup and most have a little door in the room that you stick the cup in and close the door and the doctor opens the door and gets it from the other side =)

Answer 5

Yes they watch and supervise the specimens, but the test in the lab costs alot of money so sometimes they don't even send the urine to the lab. They observe your wiliness to pee in front of them as a test for employment.  

Answer 6

NO ONE WATCHES WHEN THIS IS DONE ONLY YOU AN THE NURSE OR DOCTOR IS IN THE ROOM. THEY WILL HAVE YOU URINTHAT IS ALL THERE IS TO ITEATE IN A STERILE BOTTLE, OR CUP AN THEN THEY TEST IT
