pre-hire competency exams

Published

Some hospitals require pre-hire competency exams before they hire an RN. Could you tell me what to expect on this test? are there any website where I could practise those questions (just like there are many books and software and websites to help with passing NCLEX-RN)?

They are pretty facility specific. Some use website and NCLEX exams...some are really mostly drug and calculations tests. I would brush up on calculations

In addition, they can also be specialty-specific. If you're applying for a cardiac/tele job, they'll probably ask about EKG rhythms, cardiac scenarios and related meds...whereas if it's a psych job, your test is more likely to address behavioral health and psychotropics.
