How Long Does Nicotine Take To Flush Out Of System?

Hi, I have a question about nicotine tests. I am hoping for a job in the health field and was going to gradually quit smoking. I received a call back much sooner than I expected and had to quit as of 1000 today, about 8 hours my time. I know the company does urine test to weed out smokers and I wanted to know about how long I can expect it to take to clear from my system. I have been smoking for about 10 years and never over half a pack a day. I am about 6 feet 230 lbs. I am sure that quitting will not be a problem, but I am worried about the test. Thanks
