Performance Based Development System(PBDS)Testing

[nicunanny]

Does anyone know about the PBDS and what it is all about? I am new to traveling and have to take the test when I get to Florida. Any suggestions for taking the test?

PBDS is a computer program which assess the individuals knowledge base. It presents the test taker with different scenarios and based on your answers it helps your educator know what areas you might need help in. Most hospitals in the DFW area are using PBDS to help them assess how long of an orientation a new employee might need. If you have experience in your area then the test is fairly easy. It does require critical thinking skills.

When you take your PBDS, be sure to get a card from the educator, then when you go to another facility in a one year frame, they can call and get your results rather than you having to test again. I just found that out with this assignment.
