Virtual ATI?

iHealth · Aug 26, 2010

I dunno...I'm trying to use it now and I find it overwhelming and disorganized. I'm wondering if I should just practice NCLEX questions and look up stuff on my own. I have 6 weeks until I will take the NCLEX, but when I took my Comp Predictor PN the results indicated that I only had a 50% chance of passing the NCLEX the first time around.

Any feedback on the VATI?

Many people say they have been dissatisfied with this resource, but in all fairness, any resource is going to be as good as the effort a person puts into using it. Most people are successful who just do a review on their own, using a review book, such as Saunders Comprehensive Review.

Thanks Cali. Considering that I did so poorly on the Comp Predictor, I felt like I really needed the VATI. However, I am pretty frustrated with it, so far. It seems very scrambled and overwhelming.

When I say that I literally do not know MANY of the basics of nursing..you wouldn't even guess how much. My program was horrible. I am literally going to be reteaching this stuff to myself. Do you think I will still be safe with my NCLEX book? I was going to take that route...200+ questions, per day, and looking up stuff I didn't know...sad part is, I don't know a LOT. I don't even know most of the basic medicines and their side effects.

I was scoring 50%s on the ATI tests....and yet I had a 3.5 GPA in nursing school.

i failed nclex my first attempt.. i had studied several books including kaplain, and saunders. i passed this time using virtual ati- my coach was amazing! some of the stuff on there was long and i just picked through it- the thing that helped me the most was the questions- the questions were a lot like nclex and i think it gave me the foundation i needed.

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to complete the virtual ATI? I have to complete it before my school will allow to have my transcripts to take my boards.
