good pop-up, but I'm still scared . . .

After 2 days of anxious, compulsive (and a touch psychotic) web-site refreshing, I finally see my name on the Nursing License verification site!! So, in addition to the good news, I get to save $ on purchasing quick results!

To Jason....I used the Hurst Review, and this was the best money I have ever spent in my life. I also purchased a few NCLEX books...and had started going through one of them when I realized I needed more than a book to make sense of things again......you see, its been 15 years since I graduated from nursing school. (Can I procrastinate or what!?!)

I was shopping around for review classes and had read good things on this site about the Hurst Review and the focus on core content...which was exactly what I needed. I took it online and it took me about 3 months to get through it. That sounds pretty lengthy, but I reviewed and reviewed and reviewed a topic until I mastered it, before I moved on to the next topic.

To eine: The test was crazy, there's not ONE thing you can focus on cuz a million different things are thrown into each question, and one question is really like 4 questions. To pass, you must have an overall good understanding of how body systems work together and WHY an important disease does x and y and impacts z.

Thank you to all the students who post here, this board has been soooo encouraging!
