Atascadero State Hospital Physical Ability Test

Published

So I just got hired at Atascadero State Hospital but the email I received states I "might" have to take a physical ability test? LOL, this is making me nervous. Does anyone know if this is true and if so, how hard is it? Do I have to pushups, run on a treadmill?? Help!

I don't know the specifics about that hospital, but I think it's typical to have to take a physical agility test. Mine involved bending over, squatting, walking, etc. Nothing too difficult! I think they just want to make sure you're ready for the job, not bootcamp! ?

Thank you so much for the reply! Apparently they don’t do them anymore. LOL, I was picturing myself running a mile and doing a million pushups so I was scared!!
