Hello, I am a second year SRNA. I have recently been thinking about signing up for Valley Review. How helpful did you guys think it was? In my program, we have to take personal days to go. Is it worth the $1000 bucks?

There are many discussions of the Valley Review course if you use the search engine on this forum. It's been years since I sat for the exam and I found Valley helpful. Good luck

I think it was a good review, and it often explained things in a different way than I learned them, and I feel that I gained a better understanding than I had before of certain subject areas. And, even better, it's not a thousand bucks. More like $640.

The actual course may not be $1000 but by the time you pay for hotel, food, and gas....it will be right around that amount for the weekend.

My opinion...ur gonna sit there so they can read the sweatbook to you??, i didnt go and am glad. But i did study the material, you can make copies from someone who has it, or buy it from them online directly without having to go there, you don't HAVE to go to valley. I dont think it will make or break you, you gotta study no matter what. ugh.
(try ebay periodically, sometimes you can find the memorymaster/sweatbook there)

I took the class and bought the books (pretty expensive). But I really think that it has help. The sweat book has some really quick reviews on things you have already learned, but might have forgotten. They explain concepts differently and have some good review questions.

The material IS copyrighted and they make it very clear in their class that they will pursue legal action if it is found copied.......be careful!

For me, actually being at valley did NOTHING for me except get me a few days off of clinical and a decent road trip with classmates. I DEFINITELY could have gone without it. But that's just me. The material, including the memory master is worth the purchase, if for nothing else, the organization of the material. I wouldn't use it as your sole source for studying, but it's very nice to have when you're trying to filter the BS.
