accepted job offer got questions

So I found out about an opening at what I think is a great place. Talked to the director of the unit I want to work in. He hired me on the spot and I got the official job offer a couple of days ago.

1. They want me to list every drug I take, all my PMH. I'm afraid that when they see cancer they will find a way to rescind job offer. Does that ever happen. Cancer free 2 years now.

2. On the sheet that I am supposed to list all my past jobs and they want me to put in what my salary was. I don't even remember, but even if I did I don't want to share that with them. What's the best thing to do in this case?

Other than the cancer adventure I am very healthy, no issues.
I don't think #1 is legal. I don't see why anyone needs to know your medical history or medications you're taking.#2 is something I've seen a lot on online applications and I don't think it's that unusual. If they have already offered you a job and you've accepted at the salary they offered, I don't see why that info would be harmful to share. At the very least, just ballpark it. That's what I've done.

Once they make an offer....yes they can ask. They cannot use it against you...but we do know that at times they will find another excuse.OP you really should be honest....they can find out when the do a background check on your W2's/taxes

I had to have a physical done by the facility after I was offered the job, they asked for every med I was on, along with a complete medical history. It is a liability issue. They cannot hold it against you legally but they may ask for a work release from the oncologist. You do have to be honest about it because if you are not and they somehow find out later it is grounds for termination.As far as the past salary, I thought that part was on the application, not the new hire paperwork. As someone else said, the background check includes a credit check that will reveal the information anyway, so be honest.

The employee forms ask for every med and PMH or the application for medical insurance?i haven't applied in many years and I don't recall being asked either.

Thanks for the info. Based on what you all have said I can try to ballpark my wages. I really don't remember for sure. I did a lot of travel nursing and per diem for a while.I will tell the truth about the PMH. I rarely ever lie. Telling the truth has always worked out best for me. I hope they don't decide to throw me to the roadside. But I do still have my lower paying psyche job and they like me there.

I know I can pass any physical they throw at me. I'm a little pudgy, but very strong.
