Hi exnavy-girl-RN, I am currently taking Advanced Pharmacology at excelsior and its kicking my butt. I know I'm about almost a year late, I wish I could have been of assistance. Did you end up taking the class at excelsior? How was it? For the quizzes what readings should I focus on?

Got accepted guys, Thank God!!

@aeriedust and @Facetr_ari Thank you for the encouraging words, I hope to see you both in the fall.

@Facetr_ari Thank you much, I will definitely send a f/u or Thank you email!

@Facetr_ari I will definitely do that, Thank You!! To whom and what email address do I send the email to, you mean a Thank you email?

oh wow @aeriedust, what a wait..My interview went well, I submitted my application the end of December. Im praying to get an acceptance letter soon but seems like they're taking pretty long to make their decision.

Hey aeriedust, Did you interview Tuesday Feb 21st?

@facetr_ari ..Thank you so much, for the advice its truly appreciate. I'm very nervous but praying for the best, congratulations to you and your acceptance into the program.

Hi DoGoodThenGo I took the exam again and failed it, now I have to wait 6 months to take it again, I do very well with calculations but the med administration part I suck...So now I cant be considered for a position there until I retake it in January and pass..

I am in the same situation, I got a job offer on a neuro-surgical unit at Montefiore.....I took a pharm exam and passed it in April 2011 and was told I did have to take it again but when I went to meet with HR they told me I had to take it again and this time I failed it...I wish I would not have take that exam again. The HR recruiter didnt hold up to her part of the bargain. I am so angry because now I have to wait until January to apply again

Thanks so much, Good Faith!!!

Ok Thanks again for the advice I will definitely check it out, are you currently working as a RN?

LOL, wow and you still cat find a job..Im sorry!!

Thanks I will definitely take your advice, do you know any places that hire new grad RNs with their associates in NY

Thanks dance4life, I have been doing that and I cant find anything that is almost similar to what they ask on pharm exams

Hi april*rn In this economy I think you should take it, its definitely something that you can put on your resume and will give you some experience. I hope you choose to take the position. I need help with a situation as well read my post guys and see if you could be of assistance..Thank you in advance!!!!

Hi all, I am new to allnurses, I hope to find helpful info on this forum..Thanks for having me. Has anyone taken the pre employment pharmacology exam at Montefiore Medical Center? I am in desperate need of a review, I have been out of school since Dec 2009, took my state board in March of 2010 and I have yet to find an RN position. I am just so stressed right now that I cant even put it in words. If anyone knows of any facilities that are hiring new grad associate degree RNs please let me know. Also I used to work at Montefiore and before I left I took their RN pharmacology exam and passed it in April of 2011 but there were no positions available so in May I left them for an RN position at AHRC NYC. Due to budget cuts I was unable to stay at AHRC NYC and I had already resigned from Montefiore so now Im left with no job and unable to get unemployment because I resigned. about a month after working at AHRC NYC Montefiore called me back about a position they wanted to offer me and the HR recruiter told me that I didnt have to take the exam over because I had already taken it. When I show up to meet with the HR recruiter she says that I have to retake the exam because I am a rehire, this is crazy. Is there anything that I can do about this situation. I feel like the HR recruiter set me up for failure because why did I have to take the test again if I passed it in April and it was still in my file. Someone please help and give me some guidance, If you guys know anywhere that is hiring I would appreciate the info as well as a pharm review course to brush up on my medication administration skills so when I have to take another test I'll pass it. Sincerely, Lost and confused, RN
