Hello everyone, I have my first nursing job interview on Thursday. I have been looking up questions regarding interviews. If anyone can tell me how to prepare myself and or what I should expect I would really appreciate.

Update. A week after my exam I didn’t see a letter in the mail (Candidate Report). So I took it to be a good sign. I decided to check for my name on the NY’s license verification and there was my address staring at me. From that point I just started screaming and giving God Thanks ??. After I went to take a full glimpse of my license. Gratitude ??

Thank you and I would agree. I tested last Tuesday and I didn’t do quick results because I was so scared. A week later I looked up my name and there was my license. Praise be to God. Being that I had 145 (all questions) means that the last question (amniocentesis) was a high level question which would require Analysis and Application. Maybe not basic for the computer. I passed with all the questions so it meant that it was a high level question

Hey I tested last week and I am also scared to check for my results. I had all 145 questions, tons of SATA’s (came in pairs and sometimes 3 in a row, no math question, exhibits, drag and drops, Prioritization and Delegation, Clarify prescription, Follow ups, Correct Understanding, Intervene, Most Important, ECG. I was calm during the exam and felt confident. But because I’ve failed before I’m scared to pay for quick results because I’d be crushed if I see fail. So I’m just waiting to see if I’d receive a letter from the BON a week from my test date. If I don’t then I’ll check ?

Hello everyone I came across this question where it asked What would you monitor, what should the nurse do or what are the nursing interventions after the doctor performed an amniocentesis at 24 weeks gestation? (Genetic Disorder testing) •Discharge the patient •Admit patient monitor mom and the fetus and keep on bed rest (Im trying to relocate the question but I don’t have the rest of answer options right now but the options had more words). Is a question like this considered high or low priority question? Or does it fall under Analyzing and Applying?

Yeah I understand what you’re saying and I will keep you guys posted.

Thank you. I didn’t know that cause people be saying SATAs are above the line and if your get them back to back you got them right. Urgh the theories. So that’s why I asked ?

Hey everyone, I had all 130 questions on my exam. Has anyone ended their exam with a SATA and passed? I am waiting for quick results!

Thank you

Hey guys NCSBN got a sale going on right now. Their review course which was initially $50 for 3 weeks is now $10. Anyone here used their program and how did you liked vs disliked it?

Yes just give Pearson a call.

Sorry to hear that...I’m testing in the next 2 months.

Congratulations ??? everyone I know who tested as of the new changes have passed.

Did you pass? How was it overall?

I did last Jan and I didn’t get my ATT until June. I went to school in Texas and applied in NY but I am from NY.

You’d have to wait for your email with your ATT number to inorder to schedule the exam. Any updates?

Hey guys, do you guys know if NYsed issuing ATTs to repeat test takers at this time? Or ATTs in general?

You’re so right. I think the change is for the best.

Facts! Oh thank you I never knew there were resources on the NCSBN website.

Oh waw! LOL yes this been quite a while. I was still in school.

Got you. What resources you recommend for studying? Example: Uworld vs Kaplan. I know we all learn differently

Yeah they’ve removed the research questions. Yes that’s a huge decrease. Do you think the exam will be more difficult than it already was?

Have you guys seen the new update for the NCLEX exam? What are your thoughts? I see it a lot harder to prove that you’re competent. I don’t want to be a downer but doesn’t that mean with less questions you’ll need a greater percentage of correct questions to satisfy the competency level? But again 4 hrs for a max of 130 questions is quite a lot of time to prove competency. Also I also feel like they changed the standards. They just won’t straight out say that cause people gonna be going cray cray. We bout to see everybody with a license soon. But I pray it’s for the best.

The resources I used to study got all those topics that came so it was somewhat easy for me to recall what came. When I was getting soo many SATA’s I was scoring it on my board.??‍♀️ Thank you though.

So I had 38 SATA 2 drop and drag (SBAR & Sputum Culture) 7 Exhibit (which medication nurse should question) 3 EKG (A-fib and Asytole) 3 Dosage Follow ups (>20) See Firsts (>30) Prioritization (>60) Delegation Psych (schizophrenia etc.) Know your PRECAUTIONS and appropriate PPE Diets Vaccines (pneumococcal, influenza (which pt. Shouldn’t receive it). Positions (after procedures) Know your basics (techniques for Lung sounds etc.) Peak flow meter MDI Trach care Ventilators Labs (knowing your labs is a MUST!!!) Tourniquet (IV access) Kids (poisoning/overdosing) Maternity (Mag Sulfate) Know yours meds Some of the diseases that came for me was: Cystic fibrosis, crohns, wilm’s tumor, guillain barre, TB, Pneumonia, HIV/AIDS, Renal Failure, NMS, Autonomic Dysreflexia, Heart Failure, RA, colostomy, Diabetes (DKA & HHNK, Glargine, Insulin administration, picking the correct technique from a photo), Stroke, Asthma etc Guys trust me on this, if you really study quick facts along with the 35 page packet file the test will be so much easier than you’d expect. You’d be able to rule out answer choices. Now the questions wouldn’t be so basic, you’d have to figure out what it’s asking esp in the answer choices e.g. signs & symptoms will lead you to the topic. When I started the test (RN) I was taking my time as I was reasoning the choices. The computer gave me 3 breaks and I took all 3. After my last break is when I realized that I wasn’t going to complete the entire test. I was going to run out of time. So I was rushing to complete as much as I can before it ended(well that was a bad idea. I should have taken my time since they’re only gonna grade my last 60 questions ?). Lesson learned, even if I don’t pass I know I will on my next try!!! Because I felt prepared and I know I was close. Time expired at 226. I hope this at least help some of you prepare.
