question about travel nursing

[ibedebe]

I plan to begin travel nursing in March. I've been told that some hospitals require you to take a test once you get to that state.

Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, what would I need to study? What is the material?

Thanks,

Deb

Most hospitals require new hires to take a basic drug calc test. That's probably what it is.

I have heard, but not experienced for myself, that it is called the PBDS. Some people have compared it to a small version of the NCLEX, taken on a computer and mostly fill in the blank.

Check out the Travel Nurse Forum. I think theres a bunch of threads there talking about this.
