Travel Nurse

I am traveling to a new assignment and I am required to take PBDS testing. I was wondering if anyone has taken ICU PBDS tests lately? If so could you describe some of the types of questions that I should prepare for. Any help would be appreicated.

I have a study guide for the PBDS- if you PM me with your e-mail address, I can e-mail it to you.

I have not had to take this test yet but sure don't like what I have heard about it-sounds like a lot of BS to me. Since when are nurse's supposed to make a medical diagnosis? I think I will refuse any assignments that require this. Make me MAD just thinking about it. My references and credentials should be proof enough that I am competent!

I've taken the test 3 times in Florida and passed, but I will never take it again.
It's a grueling 4 hour test that has a twist to it, that being: diagnosing the medical issue and writing a book of nursing care with rationales. So many nurses failed it this year at Southwest Regional Hospital in Fort Myers and they had to pack and leave.
It's ridiculous.
