Failed in Hurst Review

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

hi everyone,

has anyone tried using the popular Hurst Review but still failed ?

This thread may sound as negative but i just want know if Hurst Review prove to live its hype.

Hi! it's 85 minimum according to Hurst.

Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych.

I took the four-day live Hurst Review three years ago and passed NCLEX-RN on my first attempt with the minimum of 75 questions. It is an excellent review of nursing content.

However, it does not work for everyone. 98 percent of people who use the Hurst Review pass, so there's the 2 percent who fail. My friend sat in the four day live Hurst Review course with me and still failed NCLEX, but she was unprepared and admitted she did not study diligently.

Thanks Commuter for your review.

I have been looking into Hurt heavily...I watched a sample video on YouTube and really enjoyed it.

its kinda weird no one has yet posted a failing experience due to Hurst Review but I guess I am the first one to do so (from my own thread) LoL

I failed in Hurst Online because I took it 1/4 heartedly.

I only read and watch the Acid-Base Balacance and Fluid Lecture.

And i focus myself in answering the hurst practice questions.

However, during my actual exam i got 20+ drugs in a form of condra indications and ECG strip.

Maybe because the drugs could be in category of Safety and Infection Control which are increase up to 21 percent.

I believe that even i went through the whole Hurst lecture, i still would fail (if will not read the Pharma section)

My advice to those who took and will take a Hurst Review is that please do not forget in knowing your weak area (mine is drugs)

The Pharma section for Hurst online is a self study section because there was no video lecture available. So you need to make a big effort for this.

I will read and watch again the Hurst Online program. and take seriously the Pharma section this time.

For those who passed without having a lot of drug questions, i guess your lucky.

But for those who yet to take, please know your weakness.

Before I was simply advice in knowing the drug suffixes but now in the new Test plan, you need to know the drugs by heart and their contra indications because NCSBN gives priority for an increase Quality care to our future patients.

I did hurst and built upon it with other stuff. All the test on hurst I got 62 outta 125, 53 outta 125, and 96 outta 125. I still have 3 unfinished tests I have not done yet for the online hurst review. I got the good pop up 20 mim after my nclex rn on 5/30 and my name on the BRN today 6/1

only 2

souleater11,

did you take any of the tests on hurst? if so, what did you get on them?

i have my nclex later this week and i'm just trying to see where everyone's scores are (and whether they pass or not).

i did 2 of them and got a 71/125 and then a 85/125.. and i feel like i only got an 85 because i got an easier set of questions.. and i think this is going to screw me over. i may also be paranoid, but probably not.

i also did a kaplan qtrainer and got a 58% on that :unsure:

I did poorly on hurst test, please practice on SATA through nclex 3000 and know your Pharma wholeheartedly (if its your weakness)

thank you for the reply!

pharmacology is definitely my weakness, so thank you for that advice. would you say the meds in the 5th day material of hurst is sufficient? the info/details (or lack of it..) seems so scarce

good luck on the next time you take boards!

I also have hurst online review.and already finished my lectures, now these days doing prep from nclex 4000. When its better to take q review of hurst? I have 30 days to test.

Same here i failed with Hurst but am not blaming my failure on them, i already mentioned it before. Review is a two way process, it is not just about the review center itself but us reviewing as well. Hurst is a very good review especially to those who are weak on content like me. I took my review january and took my nclex march. Big gap. But i do not think it was the gap. It was my time management in my studies. I had problem with my study time each day. I should have been studying daily after my hurst review but i failed to. Family matter. I failed from Hurst but i admit i learned a lot from them knowing that i graduated from nursing more than a decade ago. I am still looking forward of retaking their review but maybe closer to my exam date. Goodluck to us! We can do it!
