Re: Have any OR Travelers taken the PBDS?
I had an OR travel assignment last summer and had to take the PBDS. I was nervous about taking it, since the OR is so specific depending on what service you do, etc. I didn't prepare for it in anyway and I passed with no problem. There are some medications on the test that I had never heard of, and I didn't feel it was very specific to the OR. It was a mix a pre-op, perioperative, and PACU.
FYI: There is really no way to prepare for it. My advice is to make sure you read the questions correctly. Some people who tested with me made silly mistakes by not reading the question correctly. Good luck!!
BTW: I am looking for an OR travel assignment with no luck. What company are you with?
