Does RIH drug test after a job offer was made?

Submitted by highspaced t3_10n4ms4 in providence

I just recently accepted a job at RIH and I haven’t used any THC in two weeks. And it’s been just over a month since I was a daily user, but I got offered a job earlier this week and accepted without mention of a drug test which I thought most hospitals would do? If I already accepted will I be subject to a drug test during the on boarding or would I have already been asked before the offer was made? I really really want to make sure this job works out but don’t want to raise suspicions with HR by asking about it and I have no intentions to continue using anymore either for personal reasons. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated (Im from MA so I’m not familiar with RI laws)

I think it depends on your job. My nephew works there and he smokes a lot of weed so he definitely would not have gotten a job if he had to take a drug test. He's in the kitchen though.

Don't know about RIH in particular, but since legalization happened last year there were new rules implemented about drug testing. For most jobs you are unable to drug test for cannabis unless working in a federal capacity, or certain other guidelines listed in the link below.

I just started at Miriam, so not RIH but still lifespan, and I didn’t have to do any sort of drug testing, and the employee handbook basically just said don’t come to work under the influence of anything, and illegal drug use is not allowed. Didn’t mention anything about cannabis
