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!

I am really interested in applying to the new grad program at georgetown, but I thought the application was not up until Nov. 22. Do we have to take some sort of exam before that? Any details would be great!

Thanks.

SSparks, it depends when you are graduating. If you will be graduating this December then the deadline has passed. If you aren't graduating until May my understanding is that they will repost the New Graduate Nurse Candidate Position for May graduates (I'm assuming that is the Nov. 22 posting?). After you apply you may be contacted to take the nurse battery exam (read previous posts on this thread for details). Then the next step would be the application packet and an interview. Each new step means your moving on in the process, my understanding is that you would get an email rejection if you weren't moving on and you would surely get an email detailing the next steps in the process of moving on if you are selected to move further along. I hope this helps, you may want to try calling the nurse recruiters (numbers on website), if you have further questions.

Hi everyone,

I just took the battery exam last night. Does anyone know how long it would take to get a reply back? Also are there any other hospitals in DC that have the same type of program?

Hey MaraBella,

How did things go? Did you hear back?

it's not just for new grads, it is for all new hires. i had to take a test when i applied there over a year ago. i was totally not expecting it. the answers are not in the same frame of mind of how they teach you to think in nursing school. it's not patient focused, it's anti law suit focused. good luck.

What kind of questions are included on this test is it more clinical based or judgement/personality based?

I've received an email about taking the battery test--very nervous about it as I don't test well and have no idea what to expect. Can anyone offer guidance/study tips? Thanks in advance!
