Hi all. I have a potential interview coming up at an LTC facility but I am first going in for a qualifying written exam/drug calculation test. Have any of you taken one of these? I'm in CA and just wondering what I should expect. Thanks!
Was just researching ways to study for my pre-interview test and came to the conclusion that it's most likely a DDI test. I wasn't told this by the recruiter but WAS told that I can only take it once every 6 months (which is a DDI policy). Has anyone ever taken this? Any advice?

I also had to take a written exam when I interviewed for a LTC in my area and they had questions on there for Lasix (you want to look for signs and symptoms of? what do you want to encourage the patients to eat?) Digoxin (What are you suppose to do before giving it?) Had a lot of questions on insulin like signs and symptoms of hypo and hyperglycemia. Also patient safety...I had 2 calculation questions they were simple like the doctor orders something this was on hand. Hope that helps.
Thank you!!
Has anyone else had to test to go into LTC/Rehab? I think I'm ready but just want to be sure I'm not missing out on anything that might be asked :)
