Drug Testing Refresher Minutes

.  Here are a few reminders from the meeting:

  1. The RN Expertise website is: 

www.expresstestusa.com

·   Please use Citrix as it will be more secure

·   The RN Expertise website works best in internet explorer    

2. Your user ID and password are provided through RN Expertise.  Contact Shauntel Jones and myself via email to request your user ID and password if you do not already have one.

3. The post job offer drug testing handbook is located on our website. 

4. We provide 5 working days for the candidate to take the urine drug test once they are notified they must now take the test.  This is done primarily for the out of state candidates who may need more time to have the COC form mailed to them and to send their signed  agreement to submit to an alcohol and/or drug test and authorization form back to you prior to taking the test.  There really is no reason why someone would have to wait once they are provided with the COC form.  The candidate should be encouraged to go to the collection site at that time. 

5. The three forms that are printed from the RN Expertise website are:

·   Agreement to Submit to an Alcohol and/or Drug Test and Authorization for the Release of Test Result (you must receive this form from the candidate and place in their file)

·   LSUHSC New Orleans Campus Post Job Offer Drug test Instructions for Job Candidates & House Officers

·   Drug Testing Notification Form

You can get the Chain of Custody forms from the GME office or the CAP office.  This form will have to be mailed to the candidate. 

 If you have any questions please reach out to LSUHSC Campus Assistance Program at 504-568-8888.
