Prophecy Testing

Try being an OB nurse and having to take Prophecy tests are are Clearly made for Med Surg units. Ugh.

I just took the CCU prophecy exam and I have never worked in a CCU before. My specialty is MSICU, but my first travel assignment will be in a CCU. The exam was tough! I studied before I took it and then I had to retake the exam to make above the required 80% passing score (recommedned passing score is 71% by prophecy but my travel company requires a 80%). I also had to take 5 other ones that included pharm and ekg. I had to repeat the pharm one also, but it was no where near as tough as the CCU exam. They allow 2 re-take's if you do not pass the first time.

The NCLEX is easy compared to many of the agency testing. I say this because I use to write NCLEX questions. I provided rationales also. The key to NCLEX is to master being able to break down the question with analytical skills that not just anyone has but can be taught. Pick out the key word then answer the question. Agency test questions are generic. They do not provide one with enough information.

Which test is that?

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!

Perhaps pharmacology? But it is almost irrelevant as Prophecy could have 100 different such pharmacology tests customized for their many clients or in many cases, written by their clients and simply hosted by Prophecy.

I need help with Prophecy Medsurg V2, since i didnt pass the 1st one, can anyone help? Thanks

Edit: Nevermind, I don't know how I commented in an entirely different thread...disregard and carry on.

Can anyone please help me with the RN pharmacology A prophecy test

First time traveler? I wouldn't sweat it. I'm OR (most med questions are irrelevant) and have not flunked a pharm test yet (including at least two by Prophecy). Other than ACLS drugs I've not studied pharm for 25 years. You should pass. Open another browser window should a question stump you.

what is meant by 3.1 score in medical surgical prophec testing? i want to know if this score is a pass one?

i have problem on internet so i took the exam in long hours since the time is unlimited

Just had to retake 4 of the Prophecy exams. I'm a traveling RN and every once in a while a certain travel agency will use these awful exams. I had to do the 3 basic RN core competency exams and the dreaded RN Pharmacology exam. The Core exams weren't that bad. As one other person suggested, if you get stuck , just open up another browser window and look it up. I didn't look at the study guides at all. However the Pharmacology exam is a beast, especially if you haven't done any drip rates, dosage calculations and conversion factors such as myself since nursing school, over 15 years ago.

Do yourself a favor as some others have suggested and study up for a bit, there are some websites with practice tests on the math part. Familiarize yourself with what the study guide says that Prophecy has for the Pharmacology exam. I had a sheet of paper so I could remember what I answered for each question in case I had to retake the exam. If you fail it, you do get to see which ones you missed so you can figure out the correct answer for your retest, but write down the answers that you selected for the first test, so you don't get them wrong by accident if you have to retest. I studied up for a couple of hours and passed with an 83% with 47 seconds left on the timer.

I dislike the Pharmacology exam as much as the next guy, but it can be done.
