Nursing is a complex profession, caring for patients ranging from birth all the way to end of life.

Preparing for Licensure – Maternal Adaptive ATI

Preparing for Licensure – Maternal Adaptive ATI

Overall, the Maternity Adaptive ATI went as well as I expected. I have not completely finished my maternity lecture rotation, so some of the questions I had difficulty answering, such as ones regarding newborn care. However, a majority of the questions I had remembered discussing in lecture or seeing it in my clinical rotation. I noticed that I had a pattern where I got the prioritization ones incorrect, and I believe this is because the prioritization for typical med-surg patients…

Attaining and Protecting Your Professional Nursing License

I intend to become licensed by examination in the state of Maine, which is a Nurse Licensure Compact state.

ATI Pharmacology Practice A Reflection

ATI Pharmacology Practice A Reflection

Reflecting on this ATI practice exam, I am proud of my score and understanding of pharmacology material. I was kind of surprised at how much I remembered because I feel like when it comes to pharmacology my brain seems to shut off.

During my preceptorship, I had a lot of patient interactions regarding patients asking about their medications and why they had to…
