I took the pbds test last week for a large hospital and they are making me retake it in 2 weeks. I did horrible. Does anyone know any of the diagnosis they are using for med-surg? If i don't pass this time they will terminate me. I would appreciate and be thankful for any info you can provide me. Thanks in advance!

WEll, is the education team at this hospital going to shed any light on how to take this test?? PBDS is a tricky test. You need to diagnose the problem with a medical dx, not a nursing dx. then follow up the diagnosis with treatment plan followed by the reason why the treatment. I have taken it 3 times and always passed but that is because I did a google search on PBDS.
I can help you to a point.
