Has anyone taken online icu exam for travel requirement?

I'm in L&D and have had to take online exam with every company I've worked for in the past 7 years. They're really not that horrible, just take a deep breath and you'll be fine. The one's I've taken are pretty basic. Good luck!

The assignment in Indiana is for relief in their ICUs while the regulars all go to school for a new computer charting program. Everybody starts Aug 7 for 4 weeks. Should be interesting.

I have frequently taken online tests, to assess my knowledge base, for assignments.
I would rather take an online test to assess that my knowledge is adequate, before trekking several hundred/thousand miles, to get my assignment cancelled because my knowledge is not adequate for the position.

This said, I have just been cancelled for a contract where I passed all the tests, including one I was told had not been passed on the first try in 2 years. Those who had not passed lasted longer than I did, though I am told are unhappy.

I have just signed on with NurseChoice. I have been an ER nurse for 20+ years. I have to take only the ER test & a medication test. The ER test was an ER test. If you have a calculator to calculate very basic math & a current med book, the test will be easy. The medication test was more of a challange since an ER nurse does not d/c drips, calcutate PAC pumps etc. My recruiter said it was OK to have a friend sit close beside because in most working environments you have another RN to bounce questions off. Of course, if you live in Montana, as I do, a lot of facilities have only 1 nurse & an LPN most of the time.

Gook luck. You will do fine
