Interview + administered skills test (ER)

I applied for a job as a Tech. I was really surprised when after two weeks I got an email that I have an interview next week plus administered skills test...
The thing is I do not have an experience as a CNA and my license is still pending... I know that my chances are low but why I wouldn't try to get that job? I would love to work on ER!

My questions:
- what questions I can expect?
- what do they mean by the skill test? Is it like state exam?
- any advice is more then welcome

What do you mean by still pending? Like you haven't taken your state certification, or you are still awaiting results? That shouldn't matter, that is if you passed. I would just let them know you are still waiting for your results. I would imagine the administered skills test would be very similar to the skills portion of the state exam, a few random skills and to see how you react under pressure. Good luck, I think it is a great opportunity!

I passed the state exam and got my results right away, but even tough I had to send my application to the State Department of Health for a Nursing Assistant Registration. You can start working without it in Nursing Home but I am not so sure about the hospital.

I would just take whatever proof you have showing that..also, it shouldn't be much longer for you to show up on the registry.
