Amy-
I took the Hurst Review online. I won it from my school. I liked it, Marlene Hurst has is very interesting and she gives you ways to remember things. She also has great "stay calm" advice. I bought the Kaplan NCLEX-RN Exam book and read it. I practiced with some of their questions, honestly, I didn't do all that well on their tests (60%, 70%, etc). My friend LOVED it, I thought it was okay-nothing great. Mainly, I used Saunders. I liked it. It's to the point and the review questions made a little more sense (and they showed me my weak areas). I would have liked to see Suzanne's program, but, by the time I found this website, it was too close to my test. I wish I could tell you one "magic" book or website, but I just can't. Just do a lot of questions. And pray, pray, pray! And when you do take it, have faith! I was SURE beyond words that I failed. I haven't eaten or slept in 4 days. If I can be of any more help, or if you just need to vent, don't hesitate! I'd love to encourage you!

I just think I know I will feel terrible coming out of the test! that anticipation is the worst , mentally. i have taken it 2 times already but that was in the past. I feel like i know more now than I did then. so I am in the mind set that I am claiming this victory no matter what, I am dedicated till the end and the end is having that RN at the end of my name!!! Thanks for your posts.....I am using nclex 3000......saunders 3rd addition along with strategies for test taking which is awesome and I am going to go pick up the kaplan book today. I am going to do Suzannes plan as I am just now sending in my app. thanks again and congrats again!

Hi Amy

Just curious - you mention that you are using the Saunders Strategies For Success - and I wonder if you had used this prior to taking your NCLEX tests before. I will be retesting for the 2nd time soon and just got this book, which I love, after failing the first time. I think it has really opened my eyes about test taking.

Good luck to you!

Congrats Stacie! I'm happy for both of us, since I just found out an hour ago that I passed too What a relief! I prayed for you, me, and several others on this board. I hope everyone gets good news!
