SUBJECT OF EXAMINATION: TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE EVALUATION
READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION THOROUGHLY.
THIS INFORMATION WILL AFFECT YOUR FINAL GRADE!
The only subject of examination will be an evaluation of your training and experience. You will receive a grade on this exam based upon your licensed work experiences as a Nurse Practitioner and an R.N. - and how you document the required information.
Be specific; vagueness and ambiguity will not be resolved in your favor. Additional information will not be accepted after submission of your application.
It is critical that you follow the directions exactly as shown below.
· In order to receive full credit for your work experience as a Nurse Practitioner you must include a copy of your ORIGINAL Nurse Practitioner certificate (in addition to your current registration). If you only include a copy of your current registration then you will not be given credit for any work experience that pre-dates your current registration. The same policy is in effect for experience as an R.N. – you must include a copy of your ORIGINAL R.N. license.
Pay particular attention to the following items:
· You must also supply all of the information requested on the application (form CSX-1) for each position you list. If you do not, you may not receive credit for that work experience.
· The dates of your employment must be in mm/yy format,
· Do not write "varied" or give a range of hours for "Hours Worked per Week." Instead, estimate the number of hours worked in a typical week.
· Under "Title" and "Duties," clearly differentiate between licensed experience as a Nurse Practitioner, R.N. and all other work
experience.
Note regarding resumes: The submission of a resume – which is not required - does not relieve you of the responsibility for completing all sections of the application.
ADDITIONAL REQUIRED FORM: In order for your application to be processed, you must complete a Part-Time Employment Inquiry Form, which you should have received as part of your application package. If this form was not included with your application package, you may download it from our web site at www.nassaucivilservice.com where it appears at the bottom of the on-line examination announcement for these titles. Failure to return this form may lead to a delay in processing your application.
