Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I am lost right now and would really need a good advice. I graduated from nursing school 10 months ago. I had so much stuff going on in my life that i didnt have the motivation and concentration to take rn nclex test right after graduation. I am thinking of doing a review but I think I need a comprehensive CONTENT review because i think i lost everything i learned. I am an auditory learner. I dont do good when am reading because the minute i open my book i would fall asleep. What do you think of the Hurst Review in terms of CONTENT? Anyone? I've read that Kaplan is good for strategies and critical thinking but for me i think i need content review.....Right now am looking on HURST online review, NCSBN, and Kaplan.....Your advice will greatly be appreciate...thank you so much in advance for your responses.

I'm so nervous about taking the nclex! I have heard that Kaplan is 1 of the best. But it is too pricey. I finish in December which seems like a long way to go but time is going really quickly. Maybe you would let us know which book is better.

i graduated 3 years ago. I got the Hurst online package because the sample lecture looked simple and entertaining, and it was. I made sure to fill up the handouts the first time but i also listened to each lecture multiple times. I also made sure to browse through all the 5th day material which proved to be helpfull too. As aunt marlene said, you have to know your core content without any doubt and hesitation. I felt like i got the refresher that i needed plus 6 exams 125 items each. The q review has lots of SATA which was good coz you can never really get enough practice with those. After i'm done with that i also answered questions from the only other reviewer i had which was a 3 year old Saunders (blue). I made sure to read all rationales and review the content area that you find most difficult. I even listed to the prioritization and management lecture on our long drive to the testing center after which i listened to the final thoughts video and i felt like i was pumped up for the exam. In short, it's good if you have other sources for questions to practice with but good knowledge of the core content really takes you a long way. I did Hurst with Saunders questions, took the exam last may 28, and passed. good luck!
