PMCI uses the Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) for our Vocational Nursing students to assist learning throughout the program. Vocational Nursing students are provided with online support throughout the program.

The ATI Skills Modules Series for PMCI’s Vocational Nursing program allows students to apply their critical-thinking skills for patient care. The series is an assessment-driven, online, self-study learning package that is continually updated and includes how-to videos of nursing skills, practice challenges, evidence-based research summaries and more. Additionally, the program covers situations that may not arise in actual clinical time, so nursing students will be prepared for the unexpected as well as the expected. Students will use this series in conjunction with classroom theory and hands-on clinical experience to achieve a well-rounded education.

PMCI offers test remediation to all nursing students. Students who fall below the acceptable passing mark will be given remediation on a weekly basis. Remediation will also be given to students who have fallen behind in clinical skills. Remediation sessions will be held on Fridays or after class. All homework must be completed before a test re-take. Students who fail an exam may re-take the test after remediation. The highest grade available on a repeat exam is 77% - or a grade of C. Test re-takes must be completed within 2 weeks of the exam.
