Preparation for Licensure – Comprehensive Predictor Practice A

Overall, I think the Comprehensive Predictor A went very well and I am happy with my results. In conjunction with practice B, I have a much better idea of what I need to focus on and review for the proctored comprehensive predictor, but also for the NCLEX.

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…

ATI Proctored Pharmacology Exam

ATI Proctored Pharmacology Exam

After taking the proctored pharmacology ATI exam, I am very satisfied with my results. I feel like the practice exams really helped solidify my pharmacology knowledge and apply it to this proctored exam. I think my reviews that I did regarding common medications helped my score a lot. There were some questions on the proctored exam that I was not familiar with and did not have them on my practice tests, such as raloxifene. I was unfamiliar with this medication…

Attaining and Protecting Your Professional Nursing License

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. Nurse Compact states refer to states that all share an agreement that allows a nurse to practice in other states that are also a part of the compact agreement. For example, if I become licensed in Maine, I would be able to practice in New Hampshire and not have to apply for another license in that state.  The application is completed…

Post-Interview Reflection

Post-Interview Reflection

My interview went very well, and I learned so much more about my colleague on a personal level and leadership style as a nursing leader. Before this interview, I did not realize how much effort, dedication, and passion it takes to be an effective leader. I also did not realize that leadership is not something you just take on randomly, but I feel as if people are natural born leaders with specific personalities that allow them to be an effective…

Nursing Care of Children CAT ATI

Nursing Care of Children CAT ATI

Overall, I feel as if I did pretty well considering I had just finished the pediatric section of the semester. Looking back, a majority of the questions I got incorrect were more relevant with the “med-surg” component of pediatrics, especially medication questions and select all that apply questions. I have noticed a trend across this exam as well as other subjects, that I tend to answer incorrectly when it comes to adverse effects of medications, when to notify the provider,…
