- Textbooks:
Refer to the ACC Bookstore for all required textbooks and course materials. Level 1 students will find all their course materials on the ACC Bookstore website under course RNSG 1413. - Required ATI/EHR Tutor Software subscription:
Beginning in the Spring 2024 semester the EHR Tutor subscription fee will be bundled with the ATI Resource Fee. For the Fall 2023 semester students will be sent an email with additional information to purchase the add on through Marketplace as soon as it is available.
Important:- DO NOT activate your EHR software subscription until instructed by your Faculty.
As a course requirement in every level of the program, students will be required to take an ATI Exit Exam. The purpose of these exams are to analyze students’ ability to apply key concepts taught during the semester. In Level 4, all students are required to take the ATI Exit Exam to evaluate their readiness for the NCLEX examination. Students are responsible for the cost of these exams. Included in this cost is access to the ATI resources, case studies and practice exams, which are a valuable addition to your learning.
For the Fall 2023 semester incoming Level 1 Traditional & Mobility students and Level 3 Traditional students will need to purchase the EHR Tutor Access separately. More information will be coming from Dr. Laurie Dillon regarding this fee. For now, hang on to the copy of your receipt. Students will be required to upload a copy of their EHR Tutor Access fee receipt to a Google form. After this semester the separate charge for EHR Tutor Access will be rolled into the ATI Resource Fee.
The ATI Resource fee not only pays for the exam, it gives students continued access to the resources per semester. There are no exceptions or exemptions. All students enrolled must pay every semester. Students with a voucher from Capital Idea or Workforce will upload a copy of their voucher for this requirement each semester.
