Hi all! I graduated from my Nursing school which is in Texas in May 2017 (well graduation was officially in June). I have a situation....actually, several of my classmates have this same exact same boat. We had to take our ATI Comp Predictor 2 times in weeks 10 & 12. The minimum precentage that we needed to be able to graduate was a 75% which breaks down to a raw score of 69.7. The 1st Predictor was 2017 and the 2nd, was 2014 (which was supposed to have been 2017). OK, several of us passed with the minimum 75% so we graduated but here is the problem, we didn't get "greenlighted" because the school says that we have to have 88% to be greenlighted. We are having to take virtual ATI and it will be up to the ATI coach to tell the school that we are able to RETAKE the Predictor and then, if we pass without the 88%, then we are greenlighted. We were told, in the beginning, that the coach would be the one to greenlight us then was told that we had to retake to Predictor to get greenlighted. For me, I am frustrated because I am having problems focusing on ATI and then after submitting an assessment or whatever to the coach, it can take anywhere from 24-48 hours to get a response. Can we legally do anything to fight this? I mean how can we graduate but not be able to sit for our boards? Also, I received a plaque at pinning for having the highest GPA in my class.....Does anyone know what the minimum percentage is to be able to sit for boards in Texas? Is it 75%?
Thanks for the feedback!
