New Grad Battery Nursing exam (georgetown university hospital

Published

Hi ALL, I am a new graduate nurse applying to georgetown university hospital in DC and was asked to do a career battery exam..Iv been reading other posts about it and it looks really hard to pass. Does anyone know how to do well on this or has anyone taken this for the new grad program? Any input would be awesome:) Im nervous because I really want to get into here!

Ohh and is that when you took the battery exam..Im sorry to hear that:(. They said it was extremely hard to get into ( especially because of that stupid battery test) so I'm not holding my breath

Yes, I took the exam right after I applied. I haven't done one of these before, so it was good practice. Good luck to everyone else who applied!

Connolkm when did you take the battery test? I took mine yesterday and am anxiously awaiting a response (I know it must be a bit early to expect a response).

O my gosh, can someone tell me is Georgetown university medical center the same as georgetown university hospital? It seems to be the same, I hope so because I addressed the cover letter to georgetown university medical center

Ever since I started applying for positions, I've had nothing but rejection after rejection. This experience can be so disheartening that I didn't want to even look at another application site. So, I can honestly say that I know exactly how folks are feeling when the news is not good. As trite as it sounds, we need to hang in there...maybe, even take a break and do the app process in another time.

Don't wait out too long because then you will be considered stale and have to hunt down the rare and elusive nursing refresher course. Hard to stay upbeat when you feel overwhelmed but put on a brave face. Good luck.

I applied and took the battery test the first week of October. No word yet...I'm really anxious to hear from them! My application status still says under review so I guess that's a good thing. Is anyone still waiting to hear whether they are moving on in the application process after taking the battery test?
