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!!!!
