10.12 Standardized Assessments

During the program, nursing students regularly take assessments to determine 1) their knowledge base in specific areas or topics in the discipline of nursing and 2) ability of meeting program outcomes. Standardized assessments assist in identifying student mastery of course content and/or level outcomes. The program utilizes the ATI Content Mastery Series® Assessment throughout the program. Standardized assessments will be used during the program to help determine student ability in the program and ultimately assist in determining readiness for NCLEX-RN®. Performance on these assessments will be used to determine the academic potential of students requesting re-enrollment. Students have the opportunity to request individual counseling and remediation regarding test results. Refer to individual nursing course syllabi for specific assessments. The ATI assessments must be completed at the required percentiles/benchmarks to successfully complete the BSN program.
