How prevalent is nicotine testing in EMS hiring these days? I know it's becoming increasingly common in hospital systems and certain public safety services.
I may have some self serving reasons for asking this question. I recently got hired on to a private EMS company. I'll be taking the PAT and probably taking their drug test in about a week. I don't do drugs and I haven't had any alcohol in two years, but I've been gradually coming off of the vape/e-cig. I know nicotine testing doesn't differentiate between cigarettes, vapes, the patch, or gum. If this proves to be an issue with my prospective employer I guess I'll have to man up and take the consequences.
