VIRTUAL ATI!!!!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hello all!!! Looking for some guidance. I am currently working on Virtual ATI.

A little background: I did excellent in Nursing school! Took two comp predictors through school and got a 98% chance of passing NCLEX on the first try. SPED through the VATI modules and passed all of them with flying colors. Took a practice comp predictor and got a raw score of 74% (equals to a 96% chance of passing NCLEX). I am currently doing other practice questions before doing the virtual ATI comp predictor to get my green light. I also took an NLN NCLEX predictor and got 96th percentile of those who took the exam and went on to pass the NCLEX.

OK. So the problem. I start my new job in 5 days and have a temp license, so I don't need to pass boards before starting. BUT I scheduled the NCLEX on sept 25th and really don't want to change it. My reasoning is that I feel my chances go down the longer I have been out of school. I figure this way I could remediate once if I need to, but if I don't get the green light, I want to still sit for boards. If I fail the NCLEX, I'll lose my job. What do you think? Also, any personal stories would really be helpful!!!

My nursing program made us take VATI and we had to take the predictor at the end of the semester and I only got a 79% the first time around . I went through the modules and my scores went up to a 96% chance of passing . I think that with your scores you sound well prepared especially passing the predictor with high scores both times . I would keep my date and take it ASAP ! I took my Nclex RN exactly 3 weeks after I got the green light and passed!

When you start your job on your free time just do a lot if practice questions and brush up on your weak areas ! Hope this helps :)

Thanks!!! I have read so many horror stories about people doing well on their first comp predictor and then doing really bad when taking it for the green light, so it's good to hear someone that improved!!!!

I used VATI up until the maternal child module. I got a 99 percent chance of passing NCLEX the first time when we took the comprehensive assessment in school. I also sat in the three day live review. VATI was decent, I made the benchmarks easily, but just ran out of time to complete all the modules. I used my study time for other resources (questions questions questions) and focused on lab values.

My school made us take VATI. If you get your green light and take and pass NCLEX within 3 months, they'll pay for the test and licensing fees. So I took ATI to get them to pay for everything. I really didn't feel like I benefited much from ATI. It helped, but I didn't feel it was enough. I got Saunders and I loved it! I did practice questions every chance I got. I took NCLEX today and I felt prepared. The computer shut off at around 85 questions and I just knew I passed. I tried the new PVT and got the good pop up.

Your welcome !!! I wish you all the luck on your new job and Nclex !! Just keep doing questions and reading rationals !! You might even want to get a review book with just questions ... Or an app too!

Thanks everyone!!! I got the green light (92% probability of passing NCLEX on the first try). My test is scheduled in a couple of weeks, so I am continuing to do assessments with my VATI coach and doing Saunder's questions. I'm staying hopeful!

Dumb question - is virtual ATI included in the cost of ATI for those of us who did it throughout school? I took an exit exam, but I didn't see any more materials aside from that which they offered during the school year.

I would assume it would be ! Once you take the exit compredictor for your school you should get an email from an instructor to start VATI.
