Are ATI assessments similar to practice exams?
Not at all. The proctored exams use an entirely different pool of questions and you'll find that the exams are not consistent with the books. I actually just made a thread about my issues with ATI.

Is it just me or is ATI incredibly counterproductive?
I'm in my fourth semester so I'm no stranger to the various modules and proctored exams. However, I still can't get over how bizarre the testing process is. First and foremost, the exam material is not consistent with the books' contents. You go back and search for this stuff in the book and it's nowhere to be found. Secondly, you're given a "focused review" whereby you revisit certain chapters to review topics you missed. You'd be hard-pressed to find most of the material included in the review. If there's no way to really study for these proctored exams, what's the point? Or am I just overlooking vast portions of the ATI content?

These two are probably the types I'm referring to.

I missed the part where I said everyone I encounter is a jerk. Thanks, though.

I'm starting to think this field attracts a lot of crazy people
I'm currently in my 3rd semester of nursing school, and much of the behavior I've seen from nursing students and nurses alike has been quite alarming. With a few exceptions, the nurses at my clinical sites have been downright rude and condescending. Half the students are self-important jerks. Even some of the instructors have this superficial kindness about them until you rub them the wrong way and reveal their true personalities. It just seems like this field attracts jerks who just want to go out of their way to convince people they're kind and compassionate. It's scary to think about bullying culture and being surrounded by these types on a daily basis.
