I graduated in 2002 and haven't worked in nursing since 2005. I took my NCLEX yesterday. I used Hurst review, LaCharity, and Saunders book + CD. I went through Hurst 3 times, LaCharity 2 times, Saunders book 1 time and did thousands of questions from Saunders and Hurst. Wrote my own meds flashcards and looked everything up (and wrote it down) what I got wrong on the practice questions. I was studying for 2-6 hours, every day, for about 3 months before I took the NCLEX. Didn't have much of a life (I took my notes and flashcards EVERYWHERE I went), but it's well worth it in the end :-)
