Once I started browsing through this site I became aware that alot of schools use this company year-round to prepare students for the types of questions that they ask but our school doesn't offer that option to their students. There was a end of the year 3-day NCLEX REVIEW that didn't begin to touch the types of questions that were being asked on that exam! I totally breezed through the review and always reviewed using the cds online..I think it was Saunders. The exit exit exam is a completely different animal. I felt like they was more than one answer to the questions and nothing was straightforward but then again, nothing ever is however I felt that the NCLEX questions were straightforward, even the book I have with the new format questions (check all that apply) wasn't as hard to understand. I 'm starting to get the feeling that I am royally screwed. I have a really good job now making more than I would as a new grad nurse but I MISS MY PATIENTS!!!!! Does anyone have any practice codes they would be willing to 'lend' me?
Whoah! You mean to tell me they NEVER told you AT THE BEGINNING of your nursing program that you would have to take the exam by ATI????
Honey, if that is the case then you REALLY need to see an atttorney.
Some nursing schools tried to pull that crap mid-program with the HESI..not informing students at the beginning of the program but adding the HESI requirement mid-way....some of these students have sued and the courts have agreed that schools cannot change the requirements of a nursing program mid-way through.
ATI is NOT a proven predictor folks....maybe according to ATI who sells the system, but not by any independent research.
So those that are posting that she cannot pass the NCLEX-PN if she cannot get a 63% on the ATI....please quote your source on that.
