I am still in the hiring phase the lady explained to me, on the sheet she gave me it said "med exam" which is where all the worring started, it has all the phases for the hiring process and it is listed before orientation so I honestly dont know if you take it before the job is offered. I am going to get out my lab values again and medication conversions to start studying. Thank you for answering my questions it does take some of the stress off (not all but some).

Thank you for responding. Have a couple of other questions if you dont mind. Is this test a pass or fail test and will it hurt your chances of being hired? When you say safe dosages do they let us use our books or a palm or are there study guides to go by. I have no clue right now what meds to study. Also, for the labs are they looking for the basic ones sodium, creatine, calcium, uric acid, pottasium, etc..? I am a brand new LPN have not had any other job working as a LPN and I am extremely nervous about this test.

New and going through the hiring process for VA hospital was advised of medication exam to be given during orientation. Does anybody know what is the medication test for the VA hosp? Does it include medications, side effects, calculations, etc. Please help. I need to know what to study and where I should start. Very anxious and worried about this test. Thanks for your help.
