NYP Pharmacology Exam

Nurses Career Support

Updated:   Published

Hi Everyone!

I know that there have been questions like this in the past but the last one I have seen was in 2012.

I had my interview at NYP/Columbia and I accepted an offer. I now have to take the Basic Medication Administration Exam in order to actually start working there. This is my dream hospital and I have to send in my letter of resignation to my current job soon. I need to pass this on the first try in order to avoid any delays.

Has anyone recently taken it or is scheduled to take it? How did you study for it? I've read in previous threads that there was an NLN practice exam for $10 which closely resembled the type of questions asked on the NYP exam. Does anyone have access to it?

I have a short time to study and I really want to increase my chances of passing it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I recently accepted a job at NYP and need to take Their Pharmacology test. I was told over the phone that no study guide will be provided. Does anyone still have their study guid from when they took the test, if so could you please email it to me. And if anyone has any helpful tips, please share.

Hi everyone!

I know this thread goes way back so I figured someone could help me!

I’m scheduled next week to take the adult pharmacology exam, ekg exam, and the bkat. Does anyone have a study guide or any tips/advice? Most people I know only took the pharm exam and not the ekg or bkat. What happens if you don’t do well?

Hi,

I know this is an old post, but I too just received an offer form NYP and am trying to schedule everything ASAP to get the onboarding process going. Was there any specific quizlet links that closely resembled the exam. Going to review the study guide you ladies mentioned on RN.com

Hey @Jessmc , no nothing changed. the exam is from that site posted RN.com. It was 50 questions (if you’re doing the basic pharm exam) and you have an hour. I found the answers for the study guide on this link https://docs.Google.com/document/u/0/d/1aKnNFIuhVyXWWtWMhQ-kMJmLl3ZP-g4ayI83wq9W2vY/mobilebasic

I just studied this and some quizlet answers but this really helped. I passed.

Good luck

They were multiple choice and a few calculations but the calculations were simple
