Thanks for all the input I appreciate it. The minute I hear test I cringe haha here's to hoping for the best! =)

Thank you for your input. Actually they are making me take the test and if I pass then I go for the interview. I thought it was strange that I would take the test before the interview but that is how they coordinate tests and interviews. I am going to just review any PICU material that I can find. I know it's 38 questions but I am unaware of what the passing score is. However, if I do not pass the test I do not get to be interviewed.

Hello fellow nurses, I am a new grad, passed NCLEX and now I'm off to start and well find my first job. I have an interview with a Pediatric facility that requires pre-employment testing before the interview. They are using Prophecy Health testing for the exam. I am nervous because this is my dream job and of course tests make everyone nervous. I will be testing in Pharmacology (I'm pretty confident with math) and then a PICU test. Can anyone recommend any good sites or resources with PICU nursing questions or study guides? I appreciate your help! =)

Never lose hope. I too was in your shoes. I failed the nclex twice but I did not give up and I have finally passed. Here is what I recommend: take time to re-coop, but not to long. Understand this is what you set fourth to do and a silly exam will not keep you from it. This is temporary and will pass. First and foremost forget what you did before and put a new plan in full swing. I recommend using the NCSBN nclex review it is very straightforward and the questions are mind boggling just like NCLEX. Also pick up Lippincotts Nclex review the questions are tedious but the rationales are excellent. Learn from every mistake. Also if you have iPhone or android most review classes have apps (Saunders, Kaplan and lippincotts all do). Any downtime you get breeze through some questions. Keep doing questions and go over the content you are weak in. Most of all give yourself time to enjoy life too. If you surround yourself with books and think of the test only it will consume you. I followed the 3 week NCSBN test plan and yes studied everyday but relaxed too! Stop worrying that's what I did most and that is why I was not successful. Once I stopped worrying the hardwork payed off! When you walk into Nclex this time tell yourself this is it use the soundproof ear muffs get in the Zone and beat this beast. It's just a test, your a nurse just waiting for that registration! Best of Luck, you will do it!
