Preparation for Licensure and Transition to Professional Practice

Preparation for Licensure and Transition to Professional Practice

This semester I have been able to prepare for licensure and practice through the completion of various ATI assessments and their accompanying remediations. Each assessment has taught me more about my test taking abilities, what content gaps I have, and how I can adapt my behavior for better outcomes. For instance, after each assessment was completed, I was able to reflect upon my Individual Performance Profile and think about how I could use the information provided to improve with the…

Preparation for Licensure: Proctored Comprehensive Predictor

Preparation for Licensure: Proctored Comprehensive Predictor

Reflecting on my final ATI assessment, I feel very confident in ability to take the NCLEX and be successful. I was pleased with my score and my likelihood to pass percentage. I still have some areas to work on, especially in pharmacology, but I feel like I am one step closer to finally being an RN. I know that I have a hard time pacing myself while I take exams, but I feel like over the course of taking the…

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Comp Practice B

During this assessment, I felt comfortable with my testing pace and my knowledge base. I felt as though I really took my time taking the test, and felt no rush or hurry to finish quickly. With these assessments you don’t have the option to take a break which can be tough, but I feel like I was in a good environment and head space to take the assessment in one sitting. I feel really comfortable taking these tests as this…

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Maternity Adaptive Quiz

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Maternity Adaptive Quiz

This assessment was one of my poorer performances. I had hard time focusing and was completely thrown off by the website/technology issues. By the time the website was working well again I was feeling the pressure to meet this deadline as well as the due dates of assignments in my other classes. I really let this pressure build on me and take my focus away from the task at hand. I answered questions way too fast and really did not…

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Proctored Pharmacology

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Proctored Pharmacology

This proctored assessment went pretty well for me. Normally, I find pharmacology to be a content area that I test poorly in, however this was not the case. Although I did not do as well as I would have liked to do, I am satisfied with my score especially given my previous struggles. Another persistent struggle of mine I can see is reflected in my timing once again. When looking at my testing statistics I can see that once again…

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Comprehensive Online Practice A

This comprehensive assessment demonstrated one of my stronger testing performances. I did very well pacing myself during this exam, and felt confident in a lot of my answers. I feel like a lot of the previous assessments and remediations have served as content refreshers. I have noticed through my remediation of this assessment, that many of my incorrect answers are routed in particular content areas I have consistently struggled with. Namely, I struggle in areas of pharmacology. Going forward I…

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Practice Pharmacology B

During this assessment, I feel as though I really hit my stride with content and timing. I consciously tried to pace myself a bit more, and I think I did improve in that regard. I still test a little too fast, but I have always been a fast test taker and that’s a hard habit to break. At least I am improving a little bit in that area. I also felt a great improvement and an increase in my confidence…

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Pharmacology Practice A

This assessment definitely challenged my knowledge of pharmacology and stimulated me to recognize a possible content deficit in this material. While much of the material was familiar, I struggled to recall specific teaching points, complications, etc. of medication classes. Prior to the NCLEX, I would definitely revisit this content area. Another part of this assessment which gave me trouble, was the inability to take a break. I thought I would be able to pause the test if I felt my…

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Peds Adaptive Quiz

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Peds Adaptive Quiz

While I was more comfortable with the content of this exam, I did not do as well as I had hoped. Also, I did not implement any previous testing lessons I learned from the earlier assessments. Again, I answered questions way too fast. I realize that I have a really hard time pacing myself with answering questions. I have always been a fast reader/test taker but the amount of time I spend on most questions is not conducive to answering…

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Adult MS Adaptive Quiz

Preparation for Licensure: ATI Adult MS Adaptive Quiz

For this adaptive quiz, I felt at ease while taking the assessment. I felt more comfortable with the material and logistics of the exam. However, I know I tested way too fast. I did not spend enough time on each question, which resulted in some misread questions and incorrect answers. Next time, I will try to pace myself and take breaks when needed. In addition to my timing of answers working against me, I was taking the assessment with too…
