1. ATI Predictor Test Advice!

   melissa0 replied to melissa0's topic in General Students

   I am in my 6th (last) semester and the predictor test is to "predict" the chances of you passing your nclex on the first time. I have the books and I'm obviously going over them, just wondering if anyone who has taken it had any specific advice! Than...

2. ATI Predictor Test Advice!

   melissa0 posted a topic in General Students

   Hi! We have to take the ATI predictor next week and receive a 90% predictor for NCLEX which I believe is somewhere around a 70% of an adjusted individual score? We took one in the beginning of the semester (after summer break) and were told not to e...

3. Adult Med/Surg ATI test -- advice? Did you pass?

   melissa0 replied to melissa0's topic in General Students

   @LadyInScrubs - good luck to you and let me know if you have any questions about the ATI. There were I believe 2-3 questions on burns. There was an easy one, about what to do after establishing an IV - you hydrate with IV fluids. There was another on...

   melissa0 replied to melissa0's topic in General Students

   @SN - I took Pharmacology a year ago -- so yes, med surg ATI was difficult for me today!! THANK GOD I passed! There were 95 questions, 95 minutes and the national average was 61.4%. I guessed on probably more than 50% of them, and received a 66.4% w...

   Took the mental health ATI today and got a level 3 85% - very happy with that! Tomorrow is the adult med surg ATI and I'm stressing and still trying to make it through the almost 1300 page book. Hoping the practice tests help!! I will let you know ho...

6. Adult Med/Surg ATI test -- advice? Did you pass?

   melissa0 replied to melissa0's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the responses! I have two and half more days of studying before adult med surg ATI. We have to get a level 2 as well. Did you find that the practice tests were just as hard as the test? I've taken two and got 61.1% without studying and jus...

   melissa0 posted a topic in General Students

   Hi! I'm preparing to take my ATIs for adult med surg and mental health. Not so much worried about mental health but VERY concerned with adult med surg. Any advice? I've taken one practice test so far (without studying much at all) and got 61.1%. Some...

8. How was the OB/Maternal Newborn ATI?

   melissa0 replied to melissa0's topic in Student Assist

   Although I didn't get any responses - I'll respond for future people who are googling this very same question!! I passed the OB ATI with a 78% - the national mean was 71.8% - I did find this more difficult than the practice tests though, the question...

9. Having meltdown, financial aid suspension, no money, classes begin in 2wks

   melissa0 replied to pickled_tink's topic in Student Assist

   Have you considered student loans? I know it's not ideal but they can help pay for school without having to pay back until you're finished with school. Good luck, I hope you can figure it out!

10. Is there any downside to doing ADN then RN to BSN?

    melissa0 replied to ICUchick's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I myself applied to both, but was so thrilled to have gotten into the BSN program. Although it's more expensive, I feel like if I would have gotten into the ADN and realized how difficult it was I probably would have had a hard time continuing onto t...

11. Can a person w/Bipolr 1 be a successful nursing student/nurse?

    melissa0 replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I don't specifically know that being bipolar will inhibit you from being successful, but I know that nursing school can be VERY stressful and has even given me an anxiety disorder (I haven't been to the doctor about it, but really considering). I wou...

    I just took my Peds ATI on Friday and scored a 70%, level 2 after getting the highest score of 63% on the practice tests. My OB ATI is tomorrow morning and my first score on the practice test was a 68% and my 2nd was a 83% (two different practice tes...

    melissa0 replied to melissa0's topic in Student Assist

    Definitely did some praying and read the entire Peds ATI book within two days. I scored a 70.0% at a passing Level 2 - I was happy with that. National average being 61.9% -- crazy!! I have OB on Monday, getting ready to take the practice tests now! ...

14. Taking Peds ATI on Friday, how did you do?

    melissa0 posted a topic in Student Assist

    I just finished my first practice test with a lovely score of 63%! Borderline freaking out. Not sure what the national average is considered for Peds, but on my Pharmacology ATI last semester I know I passed at a level 2 with a 68%. If you've taken i...

15. ATI Pharmacology exam advice?

    melissa0 replied to melissa0's topic in General Students

    Thanks guys! I did do two of the practice tests, and seemed help out but not that much. I felt like the test was still a COMPLETE guessing game although I have studied very hard all semester. Scored a passing Level 2 and was perfectly fine with that ...
