RN Interview and Pharm Exam Help

[DonovanRN]

Hi All,

So I am writing to get some advice on two job interviews I have coming up.

I am new grad and wanted to get some advice.

One is with a good hospital in Hackensack, NJ for any available RN openings for new grads. The other interview is for DaVita as a dialysis RN. I have a little experience in an ICU environment as an RN and PCT so I may not be considered a new grad with no experience but I am still "new".

I have to take a pharmacology drug/math test exam at the time of my interview in NJ and wanted to know if anyone has taken one at the time of an interview and what it was like. How best should I prepare? Since I was not told to be prepared for any specific drugs I have no idea what to review. Suggestions?

Anyone interview for an RN job with DaVita? Any RNs working at DaVita have info for me on what it's like? I have read mixed things on working there but I am open to checking them out and seeing what my gut tells me. I think I would rather get some Med/Surg type experience since this would give me a better skill base to work in different environments in the future.

So please reply if you have some info or suggestions on my two interviews.

Thanks!

It is fairly common to have to take a med math test at a job interview. I have had them as easy as pie and also as hard as 100 questions of calculations.

Just treat it like you would a medication math test when you were in school. The only stumpers I have had so far involve calculation microdrips and macrodrips..........these are some pretty old tests.
