  5. Has anyone done the ATI online with tutor? And passed?

    NICU:) replied to FLndn84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NICU:) replied to Dyoungbl001's topic in General Students

    NICU:) replied to wantccu's topic in General Students

    I know for my program the "weeding out" semester is the second semester. This is when we have pharm, Med-Surg 1, and our skills become more than the CNA stuff. A lot of people had a hard time with...

    NICU:) replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    In some ways I agree. They should not be taking a test together. But writing a paper can be confusing. Especially when, like me, you write MLA for so long and then switch to APA. I do not think...

  18. ATI Pharm Levels

    NICU:) replied to cveill's topic in General Students

    I took it two weeks ago.. you need a 65 or 66 for a level 2 (I cannot remember which). I would recommend stop taking the practice tests, as many of those meds are not on the test. Along with the...

    NICU:) replied to LT01343's topic in General Students

    NICU:) replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    It just depends on how flexible you are. Yes it will be possible. But clinical can be really early in the morning.. Our bus system is t even going at that time. Make friends fast. And be prepared. I...

    NICU:) replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    I'm also from Nebraska. I'm in Lincoln. And there are no jobs here. Yes unemployment is low.. But being a new grad is going to make it hard to find a job here. I want to go to Omaha when I graduate in...
