LPN Online Competency Exams Pre-Hire


I need to take a few LPN Online Competency
Exams before a certain agency will hire me.
(haven't worked in a few years)

I reveiwed for a pharmacology test-30 questions/30 minutes.

I need to also need a (online)skills check list and
competency test which are also 30 minutes each.


Has anyone had a similar experience?
What areas/subjects should I be reviewing?
What is covered in an online skills check list
which isn't a demonstration type test?


The testing is through a national(private) online
testing site.

I have been an agency nurse for 15+ years and I have never had to pre-qualify my skills...meaning I never took test before they gave me the job. When I initially started I came from private duty and was trying to get in the hopital. It was hard as when I graduated in the early '90's they were actually laying off RN's and had no place for the graduating RN's. Wow! Imangine that! It sure is different now.
