Hi ! I have an upcoming appointment with NYU HJD and was told to take a pharmacology test. Has anyone taken this before? Can you please tell me what it will consist of? Was it hard? and also, what will they ask on the interview ?
This is my first RN job and i'm very nervous... please help.
Hi! I know this post is old but I'm hoping you'll still see it! How is the pharm test like? Is it something I need to study for? Or is it basic pharm knowledge? I just had my initial interview and they'll be calling back in a few weeks because interviews are still ongoing. So I guess thats when I'll be taking the test. And if you fail, do they not hire you? lol thanks so much

Hello, I know this is a late respond, but I know people are nervous about the pharm test at NYU Hospital. Do not panic, it is not that difficult at first, second, you can retake it one time. I am RN OR and almost never touch and administer meds. So last time I dealt with them it was may 2013 at Nursing school. I was called fro the interview in 2 days and I saw that I have to take a test. I panic and wanted to reschedule the test, but was said to come for the interview anyway. I took a breast and came. The result ... I passed it from the first attempt. So, if you are strong in mathematic and calculation of drugs and you know a little bit about medications, then you are safe.
Also I saw, some people are wondering if it will lead to hiring. I would say the passing score itself means nothing. Only after meeting with a manager and after being selected by a manger you will be hiring.
So, I hope this comment helps to future nurses. Good luck!
