Brief Answer:
depends on the test.

Detailed Answer:
the usual 5 panel is for heroin. If they are doing it right it will be for morphine metabolites which will show up vicodin, morphine, codeine, and heroin. So, this would be a problem. BUT the sensitivity is not great for hydrocodone So.....

First, it depends on WHEN you took the hydrocodone. If it is within 3 days prior to testing then it will likely show it, but might not for ONE 5 mg tablet. If it is over a week without taking anything but what you are prescribed it almost never will show up on a urine test.

So I will text positive for oxycodone:percocet and I'll test positive (bad) for opiates. So oxycodone is not a opiate. I took 2 vicodin : the night before and 1 in morning. So I wont get job?

I am prescribed oxycodone 7.5 x3 a day. But not hydrocodone.

Brief Answer:
definitely will test positive.

Detailed Answer:
Opiates are anything that hits and activates particular signaling circuits in the brain. So, they and morphine and tramadol are all opiates. BUT they all are different chemicals and they don't necessarily look the same and some tests for one won't necessarily work on others. Fentanyl, tramadol need their own particular tests.
With three pills right before the testing, the test will be positive.
