2. Atlantic Health Hire Learning Program

   Firefighter26 replied to ladyash's topic in New Jersey

   I applied for the HIRE learning program a couple of years ago specifically requesting a neuro job only to be interviewed for a respiratory floor. Atlantic is a Magnet program and excellent at what they do but I was somewhat disappointed at the hirin...

   My class brainiac had the computer shut off at 75 and he said he was 100% certain he failed (he passed). Another classmate ran the gamut (250+ questions) and passed. My test lasted 106 questions and I passed. Oh but those 2 days of waiting!
