Well, i am getting "old"! If you don't use the i.v.'s every day, it takes you longer to calculate the drip rates, especially when they give you complicated word stories! I copied the questions i got wrong, and since the questions never change on the test, i worked them out with the correct answers and will re-take the test tomorrow, with the answers already "in hand". Third time is a charm, they say..........if anyone needs help with this particular test, i would be more than happy to assist, as i have found the time constraints to be appallingly unfair.

I had to take that danged test, and because it had so many i.v. Drip rate questions, i missed it by three points! I took the test a second time with the formula's in front of me, and i ran out of time on the test! Math takes me forever to figure out, and i almost "never" have to calculate drip rates. Ha. Now i find out that you can only take that test three times. Period (i sure wish someone had told me that). The test has the same questions every single time. I advise anyone taking this test to copy it so that they do not run out of time in case they have to repeat it. The next time i take it, i really have to be up on my drip rates and conversions. It is a real pain in the neck, but i want to work for hospice through my agency. I looked everywhere on the net for the actual test and could not find it, so, fyi, the exam consists only of 30 pharmacology questions, and gives you only 30 minutes to complete it, and you must have a passing grade of 73%, good luck!
