Have you tried the online version that you have to pay? ATI websute has 2 paid-online version (A & B). I only took 1 version only. The online is alittle bit harder, but you get to practice more questions. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I Live in Southern CA, I wanted to go to RN program in community colleges, but I didn't get into the program (I have good grades too). I waited for a year, then I decided to take LVN program in private school. I had to move to San Francisco at that t...
I got a job offer at a substance abuse treatment center. My shift will be a-12 hr-shift. Most of the patients have dual-diagnosis. Since I'm a newly licensed nurse (LVN), I'm just wondering if anyone know the everyday routine. I know that I will have...
