After Completing The License Practical Nursing Program

Once the License Practical Nursing Program is completed, students must pass the ATI exit exam (comprehensive predictor exam).

What is ATI exam?

The ATI Comprehensive Predictor is an evaluation that predicts chances of you passing the NCLEX-PN exam. The ATI Comprehensive Predictor is mostly taken by students in their final semester of Licensed Practical Nursing Program.

The ATI Comprehensive Predictor Examination is made up of 180 questions however only 150 questions count towards the students’ scores. The passing percentage for the exam varies for different colleges and universities, but majority of nursing programs require that students achieve a score of 70 or even 80.

The students scoring 94% or higher in their ATI exit exam are also required to complete the ATI focused review. They must submit their transcript of the completed focused review to the student services, following which ATI Virtual Coach is activated for the students.

An ATI virtual coach will be paired with each of the LPN college student to guide them for the preparations of the NCLEX-PN exam. It’s mandatory for each of the students to complete the comprehensive ATI Virtual in order to be eligible for appearing in their NCLEX-PN exam.

Once the PN course & certification college (here, Verve college) receives the intimation of the student successfully completing the ATI virtual from ATI, the students becomes eligible for appearing in the NCLEX-PN State Licensure Exam.

The practical nurses (PNs) are trained to care for the convalescent, injured, sick, and disabled patients. They report to the head physician or registered nurse (RN).
