Hey guys, I just got a job in an IMCU. The IMCU I am at is a mix of med/surge patients. But, we are also where they send the CVA and MI patients. Anyway, I was told that I will be givin the Bkat exam before and after my critical care course. I have looked up on different threads here and on the internet and I understand it is a knowledge test of critcal care nursing, but of what content? Is it Meds, care, ECG interpretations. Can not seem to find a whole lot of info on it, I am hoping some of you can help.

I imagine you've already taken it? I am an old nurse going back to work on Tele floor and my super just handed it to me and asked me to turn it in when finished. Thank goodness, because I had to look up about half the questions. Its about 15 pages, multiple choice. It has some rhythm strips that would be found in ACLS coursework, ACLS meds, DM and insulin, post-op care, activity after new MI, normal lab values.... and more.
