   I was just talking about this - my friend did. As for numbers and national statistics, I don't know.

2. ATI Appeal

   GracyMae replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

   Well, not really. You have missed the point. She passed NCLEX because she was able to finish her nursing program, but she did not go through a program twice. She was simply able to finish somewhere else because she was kicked out after the 3rd se...

   GracyMae replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

   Yep. A friend of mine didn't make the required score on her ATI tests, got kicked out and had to go through all this red tape and finally ended up in a bridge program that did not use ATI and when she finally got to take the NCLEX, she aced it - 75...

   YES! EXACTLY! AMEN to that!!!!!

   Yes. You are correct - your comment doesn't HAVE to be constructive or helpful or anything - it can be just as condescending and judgmental and as stating-the-obvious and as unhelpful as you want it to be. However, just because something is a polic...

   Absolutely! A nursing school cannot and will not teach their students everything they are going to need to know as nurses. That's a given. The uncountable things nurses come to know over time come from too many sources to list. But, that is not t...

    GracyMae replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

    EXACTLY! I'm not against ATI - I think their practice assessments and many things they offer are wonderful tools for nursing students. I don't disagree with nursing schools using ATI as a benchmarking tool to see where students are in their progr...

    You're totally missing my point .... Maybe I explained it better in my other post. Otherwise, nevermind.

    GracyMae replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

    The problem is that a lot of times, the way some of these programs are run does not make any sense. Don't assume that someone who protests a way of doing things is not taking responsibility for themselves. I never failed an ATI test, myself - but...

    GracyMae replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

    Your comment comes across as being condescending and snarky and not really constructive, well-meaning, or helpful at all. Just because a nursing school decides on a certain way of doing things does not make it right and does not even make it make ...

    I disagree. I know many people who went to schools that required ATI testing - they passed the cumulative ATI exam at the end, which supposedly proved they had a 90-something % chance of passing NCLEX, but they did not pass the NCLEX. I also know pe...

15. To BSN or not to BSN

    GracyMae replied to J.D.'s topic in LPN-RN

    I would just go ahead and do the BSN program, if I were you.
