So, I was just looking at the web sites of the two major hospital networks in my area, looking at their job postings. I bookmarked a total of eight jobs. Later today or maybe tonight I’ll go back through them all and create applications on those two web sites and start getting apps in.
If I get an interview, I’m sure by that time I would be able to pass urine tests for recreational drugs and nicotine. Hell, the hiring process usually takes a lot of time, so it should be no problem for me, provided I stick with my quitting smoking effort. I’m two weeks clean of cannabis and nicotine as it is, so by then I’m sure I’d be able to pass a urine test. If they do hair tests I’m ■■■■■■, but most places just do urine tests.
I think I’ll be honest with them about my education and work history of teaching, and let the cards fall wherever they may.
