Does anybody have any advice or suggestions about the medication administration test at torrance memorial that you take before the interview?

bblue · Jul 12, 2013

the med math test was straight forward. No weird conversions.

Sophia432 · Jul 12, 2013

Thanks bblue. Since you seem to have already had your interview, did they tell you when you will hear back from them?

bblue · Jul 12, 2013

Sophia432, they said 2-3 weeks from the interview. They also said the program would start 8/19.

Good luck bblue! I have one more question. Should I be studying reconstitution problems? Thanks

Hi everyone, I just got out of my 2nd interview. I was really nervous and felt I didn't do as well as the 1st one. Did anyone get an offer yet? And if so, how long did it take after your 2nd interview?

ADEcstatic · Jul 19, 2013

I had my 2nd interview today, too! I felt pretty good although I did mess up on one question, I think. I honestly don't know how I did. I thought I totally bombed the first interview and I got a call the following day for the 2nd interview so it's a toss up! lol I hope I did well enough to get an offer. Some of the managers I interviewed with seemed to like me. :yes:

I asked them when we should hear back by and they said by the end of next week. I think they're conducting more 1st interviews tomorrow and 2nd interviews early next week. Keeping my fingers crossed! Who did you interview with, @julesdel? Medical-surgical?

@ADEcstatic Good for you. I interviewed on the 2North floor with oncology and med surg people. I put oncology as my #1 and then med surg as #2. Crossing my fingers for a congratulations phone call next week. Who did you interview with? When I spoke to xxxxxx on Wednesday she said they would accept 20-25 people; however, do you know how many people are interviewing? Good luck!!!

ADEcstatic · Jul 19, 2013

I don't know how many people they're interviewing, but I know they had more first interviews today. I interviewed with all med surg people on the 2N CR, too. It was pretty much the only unit I wanted. BTW, have you taken your NCLEX yet? If not, when are you planning to take it?

Good luck, @julesdel!

julesdel · Jul 19, 2013

No, I am taking it on the 24th. I hope that does not hinder my chances. Have you?

ADEcstatic · Jul 19, 2013

I haven't. I'm supposed to take it on Monday but I am definitely not ready and would really prefer to postpone it. Unfortunately, the earliest date I could reschedule it for within a 40mi radius is the 29th! Torrance HR lady strongly recommended taking it earlier than that. Gah!
