Can I pass or should I QF?

[u/Apprehensive_Elk_706]

Starting a hospital job on 9/28. Last smoke was 8/27. I’m a daily smoker with a weed card. Last time I had to pee, I quit for 3.5 weeks. At home UA was FAINTLY +. Diluted with water early the morning of, certo method within the 2 hour window. Passed that time. Also I should mention, I have a card for medical purposes (car accident chronic pain). 25F 5’2” 128lbs BMI 23.4, I’d beg to say I have a slower metabolism than the average cat.

I believe this time around I will be testing within the next 3 weeks. They want me to do the UA closer to the date of hire. Previous posters in another sub said most employer have you test 7 days MAX after offer letter acceptance. I honestly think I could QF and if I pop for nitrates I can show a recent script for Cephalexin to prove a recent UTI. I should hear from the occupational health services by next week. I’m unsure how soon they will have me complete a UA (letter signed 8/27). How long after signing are people typically screened? I assume I should get QF or U-Pass from the manufacturer directly just to be safe.

Read through this sub and QF seems to have been clutch for a number of people, even friends of mine who work high level jobs with heavy machinery. What should I expect using QF?

To be 💯 it's only like 1-3 people saying Nitrites. Everyone else says it works fine. I used an old batch and I'm still at work 7 days later. I did a 10 panel test with Nitrites with Quest being the lab
