I just took my boards for the 2nd time and failed. I would like to take the Hurst Review but they won't come to my area until August. They said if I can gather 15-20 people that they will come my way. Any other advice?

You can take their online review. Its just like the live class. Exact info is covered and you can rewatch as many times as you want! I think its better to do online myself! Best of Luck!

You can go to KaplanNursing.com and look for review courses in your area. They are 499.00 I googled nursing review on line and came across another one a community college was giving for 350.00 but it was 6 weeks later than the Kaplan. I wanted to get it done and I wasn't familiar with the one at the college.

Health Re: hurst review
I thought I would add my experience with Hurst Review. I did the live Hurst Review and I think it cost $350. I did the review two weeks after graduating and 5 weeks before taking the NCLEX. I debated between doing Hurst Review and Kaplan and eventually decided on Hurst because when I called Kaplan to ask them questions they couldn't give me a pass rate and said it was mostly about strategy rather than review and I wanted a review course. I was pleasantly surprised with Hurst. While it did get boring sitting through 8 hours of lecture it was very much worth it. I passed my NCLEX on the first try with 75 questions. A lot of my questions had to do with Cushings, Hyper/Hypothyroidism, Addison's, and a few other disorders all which were layed out nicely through the lectures. If I had to do it again I wouldn't do the live course. Marlene's lectures on video were more entertaining and I found myself paying more attention when she was lecturing via video than when the teacher's were teaching live. I also noticed several mistakes that were made during the live lecture. I hope this helps with the decision making. Do the video courses over the live courses and study the material they give you. While it doesn't cover everything, it does cover a lot and a lot of what was covered was on my NCLEX. Good luck!!! Also, just FYI, I had a ton of select all that apply and infection control questions so be prepared!!!!
