I took my exam yesterday and passed with an 89%!!!
The woman in the computer lab said that's a lot higher than most people get that test there. I'm a little bit of an overachiever so I was a little disappointed in my score, wish I had at least gotten in the 90's, but I'm SO glad it's over and done with!!
The things that got me the most were questions that wanted to know the side effects to a particular drug, I was doing good just to know the generic names. There were 2, I think, that I just did NOT know, and about 5 I was second guessing myself on! Lol! It's a lot of information in a short amount of time and I had no idea what exactly I'd be tested on, so I studied everything!
Should be training on the cart Monday or Tuesday so I am SO EXCITED!!!
Ready to get off the floor & looking forward to my next paycheck!!
Specializes in 6 yrs LTC, 1 yr MedSurg, Wound Care.
The BEST thing I found to help me study was flashcards. I downloaded a flashcards app on my iPhone and used it ALL the time. Then also a drug book (another app that I downloaded) with the generic & trade names, helped me through a lot of my classwork, instead of digging through my textbook.
Good luck Celeste! I don't know how helpful I'll be since I'm so new, but be sure to post any questions and I'll do what ai can.
