I wanted to know if anyone has taken both the Kaplan and/or Drexel and what they were like? I can't find the Kaplan in my area till July and that's when I plan to start working so I can't take it then and was wonder if I should take the Kaplan online or take the Drexel class instead? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Kaplan or Drexel

I used Kaplan Course Review. But It was only a self study module. I also used Saunders by Silvestri. I passed my NCLEX RN for the first try and I think prayer and using these materials helps me a lot to passed my exam. Good Luck to you God is Faithful!!!!.

Re: Kaplan or Drexel

I would not recommend the Drexel course. The one I took was terrible - see my thread called Drexel Review Course - am I the only one who thinks it is terrible. I had a really bad experience with the course, along with many other nursing students in my class.

The people I spoke with that took Kaplan said it was awesome! I think I might even sign up for it, even though I already paid for and lost money to the Drexel course.

TAKE KAPLAN!!!!!!!!

My Kaplan course was classroom setting and it was awesome! I would recommend it to anyone I am sorry I cannot comment on Drexel as I didn't do anything w/that one. Ditto Saunders, another good resource.

Re: Kaplan or Drexel

I didn't take the Kaplan class but I did have a self-study Kaplan guide and plus I had the Saunders NCLEX review disk. Both were very helpful to me, along with prayer. I passed on my first try. Also another tip that might work is thay my friend and I went to the testing site the day before the exam as it was in another city and we just relaxed, watched a movie and shop and ate a good dinner. The day of the exam we got up early and had a good breakfast. Good Luck
