ATI Fundamentals Test...

Hey guys,
Just a reminder/passing along info... We have access to ATIs practice/demo tests online with the codes we were given at the beginning of the semester (if you have not already checked out the tests). There are good questions/coverage of material and its also a chance to see what the questions will be like. There are two practice tests that I know of; RN Fundamentals of Nursing, and RN Fundamentals of Nursing 2.0. When you log into ATIs website just click on the "take assessment" button within the left column and enter the codes from below. We were all given the same codes and passwords so if you cannot find them here they are:

Test ID------> Test Name------------------------------> Password

210124------> RN Fundamentals of Nursing----------> 23S5541R52
210126------> RN Fundamentals of Nursing 2.0------> 23S5371R54
