Spokane Community College ATI Policy
What is ATI?
• Assessment Technologies Institute® (ATI) offers an assessment driven review program designed to enhance student NCLEX-RN
success.
• The comprehensive program offers multiple assessment and remediation activities. These include assessment indicator for academic
success, critical thinking, and learning styles, online tutorials, online practice testing, and proctored testing over the major content areas
in nursing. These ATI tools, in combination with the nursing program content, assist students to prepare more efficiently, as well as
increase confidence and familiarity with nursing content.
• Data from student testing and remediation can be used for program’s quality improvement and outcome evaluation.
• ATI information and orientation resources can be accessed from your student home page. It is highly recommended that you spend
time navigating through these orientation materials.
Modular Study:
ATI provides online review modules that include written and video materials in all content areas. Students are encouraged to use
these modules to supplement course work and instructors may assign these during the course and/or as part of active learning/remediation
following assessments.
Tutorials:
ATI offers unique Tutorials that teach nursing students how to think like a nurse; how to take a nursing assessment and how to make
sound clinical decisions. Nurse Logic is an excellent way to learn the basics of how nurses think and make decisions. Learning System offers
practice tests in specific nursing content areas that allow students to apply the valuable learning tools from Nurse Logic. Features are embedded
in the Tutorials that help students gain an understanding of the content, such as a Hint Button, a Talking Glossary, and a Critical Thinking
Guide.
Assessments:
Assessments will help the student to identify what they know as well as areas requiring active learning/review. There are practice
assessments available to the student and proctored assessments that may be scheduled during courses.
Active Learning/Remediation:
Active Learning/Remediation is a process of reviewing content in an area that was not learned or not fully understood as demonstrated on
an assessment. It is intended to help the student review important information to be successful in courses and on the NCLEX.. The student’s
individual performance profile will contain a listing of the topics to review. The student can remediate, using the Focused Review which contains
links to ATI books, media clips and active learning templates.
The instructor has online access to detailed information about the timing and duration of time spent in the assessment, focused reviews
and tutorials by each student. Students can provide documentation that required ATI work was completed using the “My Transcript” feature
under “My Results” of the ATI Student Home Page or by submitting written Remediation Templates as required.

National Certification Licensing Exam-RN (NCLEX-RN) Preparation
Students will be required to complete the ATI REGISTERED NURSE Comprehensive Predictor Exam during N235 (7th quarter). If the student
scores below a 90% on the predictor, he/she will be required to take the college arranged NCLEX® preparation course. If the student cannot
make the scheduled NCLEX® prep course scheduled by the college, he/she must meet with the Associate Dean of Nursing regarding alternate
arrangements for a suitable NCLEX® prep course. For students who achieve a 90% or higher on the comprehensive predictor, participation is
optional.
Spokane Community College utilizes ATI Customized Live NCLEX Review. The Customized Live NCLEX ® Review is formatted based
upon class performance on the Comprehensive Predictor ®, one of the final exams used within the Comprehensive Assessment and Review
Program (CARP). This three-day live review is designed to improve competency on topics that need additional instruction. The review is
highly interactive and is closely aligned with the NCLEX ® blueprint. Test-taking strategies, critical thinking and Q&A are presented.
Upon completion of the review, students receive a customized, individual study plan to continue exam preparation. We'll work with
students until they pass. It's our guarantee.
This program includes:

