[LVN2145]

Hey everyone!!! So I was called this morning by a LTC facility that I applied to last week....they said that they wanted me to come in tomorrow to take test on the computer before giving me an interview! Has anybody had this similar experience??? What kind of questions are they going to ask me???? ahhh!! I thought I was done with test taking after my NCLEX....but alas, I guess not!!! Please help!!!

Welcome to our internet family!

If you completed an LVN program, you are probably capable of passing any test the LTC facility presents to you. It might be a dosage calculation test, or it might even be a personality test. Who knows? I find this somewhat strange, because I have never had to test for any LTC or nursing home position for which I've ever applied. In my area, the LTCFs simply hire any warm body with a nursing license who walks past their doors, so they would never make anyone nervous by giving a test.

Thanks for the reply!!! But I went in for the interview today and it wasn't even med calculations....it was for the DON to see how well I typed and to see how I document and to introduce me to their PCC system!!! I was so scared, bc being a new grad, I'm deathly afraid of documentation and I always think I'm doing it incorrectly, since I never was able to really practice it during my clinicals since the places where I did clinicals did not allow students to document!!! Ahh...but anways...Turns out the DON actually liked my documentation!!!!!! yay!! All in all, I got the job!!! So, I'm going to be starting my orientation next week and I'm soooooooooo excited, but nervous at the same time!! ahhhhhh!!
