You have to take a math/ drug exam for any position and for any hospital job, if you are going to be adminsitering medications.

Every nurse there has taken one, and every one of us that are practicing here have taken an exam like that. You made it thru school, and you passed NCLEX, I would not worry about the exam.

There have been several threads on this.

It covers basic drug knowledge and calculations. About 50% is calculations and they are relatively easily. The other half is basic knowledge about fairly common meds. It is computerized and you will know the results at the end.
