Hi everyone, I'm trying this NCLEX thing out again. I graduated back in 2016, and I haven't taken the exam in nearly 3 years. The GOAL is to take this test within the next 3 months, so it's go time!
I'm trying to decide which program I want to use that will help me with content, but still provide me with NCLEX-level questions. Back in school I used HESI/Saunders and Kaplan. I remember liking Kaplan, but I think I want to try something new.
I see OVERWHELMINGLY positive reviews for UWorld - so I'll probably do that closer to exam day.
For now, I think the key is finding something that will really help with the content. I really like how Virtual-ATI looks. Haven't looked much into Hurst. NCLEXWebinar.com seems pretty neat too.
Ultimately, I'm trying to jump back into the world of nursing. Any other tips or suggestions is much appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello there!
I haven't studied for my NCLEX-PN in close to almost 11 months. I graduated May 2019.
I purchased:
ATI Virtual Tutor NCLEX Review+Boardvitals
Uworld Qbank+2 assessments
Hurst Online Review
And through my program I have the
Saunders NCLEX Review edition 6 (comes with online codes +2500 more questions)
Saunders NCLEX Review Flashcards
I have 60 days until NCLEX-PN I just started studying but so far Hurst and Saunders have really been worth it. Saunders narrows down the important information so I'm not wasting time worrying about the fluff. Anything I need clarification for I go back and skim that in the ATI books or my other nursing books. Once I finish reading and taking notes on the Saunders I do the online questions for that specific topic (there are all types of options and ways to study from general to specific topics such as Pediatrics:Cardio or Fundamentals: Ethics/Legal etc.). Then I'll do the same with the ATI questions.
I have sampled Hurst through the demo and it's up my learning style right now they have a sale on it.
Hurst comes with a workbook and the lectures are memorable.
Best of Luck to you!
