RN ATI question

[AllSmiles225]

I know this seems EXTREMELY unimportant but I am pinching pennies here and I was just wondering for anyone who used the ATI system in RN school--if you remember roughly how much it costs. The school kind of sprang on us that we would be required to purchase it as it is part of their new "phasing in" curriculum so basically it is going to be an unexpected expense that will need to be paid on September 1st. My LPN program used ATI and I remember it being $250--does anyone remember how much it cost for their RN program?

THANKS in advance!

I am not sure exactly what you need, but there is the link to the online store. Scroll to the bottom and click "RN Products" to see a full listing.

For my program, we had an $800 class fee attached to one of our courses...that included the ATI books (Med/Surg, Maternity, Pharmacology, Psych, Peds, Fundamentals, Community, Nutrition and Leadership and Management...plus a handful of DVDs) and our PDA, so I cant exactly tell you the full price for all the books and DVDs. However, googling how much our PDA cost (about $300) I estimate the ATI material at the remainder of that fee...so about $500.

Its not cheap thats for sure.

Thanks for your reply & help--I better start saving I guess.

I don't know about your school, but ours included the ATI in our testing fees. There was no out of pocket from us. Hope this helps!

That would be awesome! Thanks for giving me some optimism on this subject!

Just paid for mine about 10 minutes ago. It was $379.98 and that includes all of our tests for the whole program and a bunch of ATI books.

Those books better be made of gold! Haha
