It is a Trusted and Joint Commission requirement that all Trusted Nurses and Allied Health Professionals achieve a passing score on general and specialty-specific competency exams in order to be compliant for an assignment.
Competency exams must be completed annually and must remain up to date throughout the duration of employment.
What if I do not pass an exam?
Please let us know that you need the exam to be resent by sending a message to your Compliance Coordinator through Inbox or by texting your Advocate.
Please note that under Trusted's policy, we can only have you take the exam 3 times. Some facilities have stricter requirements (i.e., only allow 1 or 2 attempts), so you must be focused when you take these competency exams. We recommend taking these on your computer (rather than your phone) and in a quiet space. Your Compliance Coordinator also generally has a study guide that you can utilize, so we recommend you have that available when you are taking these exams.
Do I need to upload the completed exam to my profile?
You can upload the PDF version of the Relias exams to your profile or they will be uploaded within a few days of completion by our team.
What is the passing score?
The score must be an 80% or higher than the modified Angoff score.
What if I cannot pass?
You do need to pass all of the exams and meet the facility's required test score in order to complete your onboarding.
