Hello All...

I'm trying to find a nurse that has interviewed or is currently working at Dekalb Medical Center. I am interviewing with them very soon and was wondering what does their pharmacology test consist of. Is it just pharmacology calculations or drugs as well. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Also what is their interview like? What kind of questions?

Thanks

I was so worried about the test. It ended up being basic math. half of a 50mg pill is.........

one or two cadiac meds.

some drug abbreviations questions..right or wrong.

the other thing is if you fail you get to take the :banghead:same test again. same questions.

So what is there pay scale like and shift diffs or incentives like SOB's? I recently applied for one of their internships.

I am a little nervous about the test too. I am good at dosage calculation, but specific med questions is not my strong suite. I am also going to be interviewing for them. If I take the test first, I'll post another response with my experience.

:wink2:

Thanks Deebony,

I have had my eye on Dekalb since I first started nursing school. I did clinicals there and loved it. Labor and delivery is my passion and I would really to work in the new womens center. I know that the nurses in the main building wear blue and white. Does anyone know what kind of uniforms do they wear in the womens center?:nuke:
