ATI Fundamentals Exam

[akgreenberg92]

Hello all,

My first semester of clinical I was held back a semester because of a proctored ATI Fundamentals exam I missed by 1%. We needed to get a level 2, and I was 1% off. I got a 92% in the course, but just the thought of being held back just because of one exam threw me off.

Now I have to do a remediation and at the end of the semester, I'll get another chance to take the ATI Fundamentals again and score a level 2. I honestly knew the material, I just get back test anxiety and my brain crashes.

Are all accelerated nursing programs so ATI based? It's frustrating, but I'm trying to figure out if it's the norm or if it's just my school.

Thanks!

We have a proctored ATI exam but it only counts for extra points on our final. Our program doesn't hinge our entire semester performance on one test, thankfully. I'm so sorry you have to go through that kind of stress!

Do you have the ATI books because that's what helped me the most.

I do have the ATI books. I'm taking a remediation class this fall, and I only have one chance to pass with a level 2. So here's to hoping it works!

again another example of unfair and STUPID ABSN programs screwing their students over

why have assignments, quizzes, tests only to stop a student from passing bc the ATI exam is either P/F for the course or worth more than 10% of your final grade?

Screw ATI if you get your grade you get your grade, people complain about how easy NP programs are i think the NP programs need to get more rigorous and the ABSN need to tone it down.

Weeding people out after they already have a bachelors is beyond dumb esp since a lot of these students are failing a semester before graduation.

"You passed 9 out of 12/14 months of our rigorous program? CONGRATS! Oh well you failed one of the last courses now go screw off take care, thanks for the cash!"
