Hurst review and passing in massachusetts

The NCLEX is a NATIONAL exam and is the same battery of questions whether you sit in MA, FL, CA, Guam or overseas.

The difference in choice of review is often more in relation to what courses are available in the area.

I passed my boards first time a few years ago with minimum questions. I did not use Hurst or any other review service. Many have posted they were happy & successful with Hurst

My advice would be to know your core content and how to prioritize to select the best/most correct answer. Many people with a strong core nursing knowledge base find LaCharity's PDA book very helpful to reinforce proper prioritization & delegation.

I used hurst. I thought it was a great resource. It helped me learn the content. I suggest going over one chapter a day and test yourself over the content you learned. Do as many questions as you can. Good luck!

Hurst was my only source of content. I suggest only using one source for content unless if you need more clarification on something. I also used kaplan because I wanted to do more questions. Hurst especially helped when I had to answer SATA questions that would ask what are the s/s of this disorder. Know your content and make sure you do as many questions as you can. Understand why you are getting the question incorrect. Your are never going to feel ready or know everything for the test. Know your labs and ekg's. Good luck!

ash.RN. so with the Hurst Review and the content that they provided you with.. Did you feel confident during the exam because the content they gave you was really similiar to what questions where being asked? I am just asking this because I took another review with my school and they gave so much content it was rediculous... the hurst review I have been doing, it has given me confidence, and as well helped me understand the body and nursing a lot better. But I am just afraid it could possibly not be enough for the boards seeing as this other review gave me so much content (it is overwhelming). I know I will not ever know all the content to take this exam, but I am just curious if the Hurst Review gave you enough skills, that when you where sitting in the exam everything somehow related or made sense.

(sorry for such a long post)

I am so glad you asked this question. I am doing the same thing. Ash.RN, thanks a lot for answering. This is my only source of content also

Hey amanda, I feel you. I live here in Massachusetts and I'm about to start doing the HURST next week.

I heard that they are really great with content review. When are you gonna take your exams?

I did the HURST for the NCLEX-PN 3 years ago and it really helped me pass. I'm doing the Hurst online review again right now to prepare for NCLEX-RN. I'm super nervous. Its a great resource and just about all I've used to prepare.
