When I first started ATI, I was just taking it to take, but now I have come up with study habits and ways to improve my score. When I take an ATI now, I make sure to take small breaks if it is one of longer ATI exams I am taking. This helps me to regroup and slowed down for a moment. Also, when it comes to taking the ATI, I make sure that I am in a quiet environment…
I plan to become licensed by exam in Maine and it is a compact state. The process must be completed on-line. The whole process includes applying online, uploading a current picture, and upload a signature page that is manually signed.

The school must send a complete certification of school form online. A criminal…
I am most excited about finally to be able to be an RN. I am excited to get my first job and finally be able to practice all the things that I have learned.

I feel like this gives the patient more control over the end of their life when they feel that they have lost all control in every other aspect. This allows the patient to live their last…
My initial thoughts about electronic health records in nursing is that it is very useful to have. Having the patient’s records online allows to the nurse or the provider to see all the care and treatment that the patient has received. It can also show the nurse what care/ treatment has worked for patient and what hasn’t worked for the patient.
