    ATI Exit Exam

    KrCmommy522 replied to riko1027's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I always used the ATI site. I would do the modules and take the practice tests. They even have non-proctored practice exams over whatever area you are being tested (including a comprehensive one)....

    NCLEX-RN Awareness

    KrCmommy522 replied to Flightmed123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I suggest going here: NCLEX & Other Exams | NCSBN That should answer all of your questions. On a side note, ATI gives partial credit for an answer? We used ATI at my school and I never knew that....

    Postpartum Care Plan

    KrCmommy522 replied to gemini61's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Steps to reporting Med Diversion

    KrCmommy522 replied to Bsnrn0815's topic in General Students

    (Almost) New Grad Job Search

    KrCmommy522 replied to oops I bradyed again's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't think it would be inappropriate at all to ask the retired nurse manager to be a reference and/or write a letter of recommendation. If she was well-respected and she knew you well, she would be...
