Hey everyone, so I just finished my nursing program (whoo hoo!) and our school is holding a 3 day live ATI review. So far it seems like it will be really helpful and has already cleared up some of my concerns. Here's the thing, prior to this course I bought 2 of the Saunder's Review books because I heard they were great. I don't want to overwhelm myself with too many different sources to study from. With the study plan I worked out based on the ATI review I won't be able to incorporate as much of Saunder's as I had planned. Anyone have experience with the ATI review, either live or online? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!!

Re: ATI Live Review...is it helpful?

i am all about live reviews, is your ati an open review or just for your grad class? where?

Re: ATI Live Review...is it helpful?

Take any help you can get. ATI's live reviews were very good in my opinion. However, Kaplan's questions resembled the NCLEX the most...at least when I took them.

This live review is specifically for my graduating class, my school offers it at the end of each semester for that graduating class. It's short, only 3 days, but well worth my time. I've learned things about how to answer questions and little tricks that I would have never known had I skipped this class. Even if you can't do a live version, they also have virtual reviews (kindy pricey though). You can get more info at www.atitesting.com. Good luck!

Re: ATI Live Review...is it helpful?

I never had an ATI live review, but our school made us pay $425 for some stupid ATI book/DVD bundle that was supposedly going to help us pass the NCLEX. We all hated it and most of us didn't even read those books. I saved my money and just followed Suzanne4's plan (which is free!) and I passed on the first try.

She has a thread where she outlines the first part of her plan here, in case you're interested: http://allnurses.com/forums/f197/new...an-195774.html

Good luck!
