acceleratedstudent

i wish that was the case but unfortunately so far we have all taken it once and not one person has passed out of 40+ students. i am not so worried about passing ati (i will study and get my passing score), but i am more bothered by the fact that my program thru this on us 2 months before we graduate. if this was something that was introduced at the beginning of the program i would not be as concerned. i think i am still in shock that they are going to dangle our transcripts in front of our face while we jump through their hoops.

I too am in an accelerated program, but unlike you we got the news that we must pass ATI two weeks before our last semester. The test layout is vary similar to your school in that if we do not pass we can retake the ATI exam again. The ATI pass/fail courses are not in our program requirements and although I am doing very well in school I am not testing well on ATI. Of course I want to pass NCLEX, and would not sit for the test until I am certain, I just don't like the idea that they are holding my transcripts hostage. By the school holding on to the transcripts the board will not issue any of my cohort our interim permit. For those of us who have jobs lined up, and were relaying on the interim permits really puts us in a sticky situation.

Does anyone know if I report this to the BRN if my schools accreditation will be in jeopardy?

I agree it's not fair at all. I graduate in May and hope that I can get this resolved by then. Does anyone know how fast the BRN works?

I need my transcripts to go to the BRN so I can sit for NCLEX. Yes I had to pay for ATI.

That is what I was thinking too, gosh I am so disappointed in my school.

Hi I am a RN student who was just informed by our school of nursing that they are going to hold student transcripts if we do not get a passing score on our ATI comprehensive test. (ATI is a company that prepares you for the NCLEX, similar to Kaplan). So this means that although I have passed all of the requirements to sit for the boards my school is holding my transcripts hostage until they feel I am ready to "pass" the NCLEX. They has expressed that they are going to do this because how we do on NCLEX reflects the school. Is this legal? Any suggestions on what I should do? Thank You

:bow:Thank you very much. Do you know of any book's, articles or other scholarly material where I may find more information on this topic to back this up. The books I have are not producing good information in this topic.

Thank you, but how did you find that out. I have been on the HIPAA website and found articles regarding privacy rules but nothing that is specific to patient identifiers?? This is where I am looking: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/understanding/index.html can anyone please direct me in the right direction.

I have been searching on the HIPAA website for documentation on what are violations for patient identifiers but can not seem to come up with a specific document for this. I am doing a change project for the ICU and am redoing their white board that has all of the pt's, room#'s, and RN's assigned and need to prove they are not violating any HIPAA rules regarding patient identifiers. Please let me know if you need more clarification. Sorry for all of the confusion. :wink2:

Thank you but let me clarify what I am trying to find out. I need to know what the specific hipaa violations are for patient identifiers and an article to back it up. I do know that it is a violation to have more than two patient identifiers (eg. name, DOB). So does anyone know where I can find an article supporting this?

Does anyone now of an article I can use in regards to HIPPA violations for patient identifiers. I am doing a change project and would like to incorporate patient identifier violations from HIPPA into my project. Thanks Rachel
