Waste of money. Just get Saunders and do practise questions.

I purchased these so called "flashcards" in preparation to take the nclex-pn.

U R given a stack of papers that are perforated to be flashcards.

Very disappointing to say the least and will be sending them back!

I would suggest sticking with saunders or evolve.

Good luck!

I did a combination of Hurst Review and Saunders. I did the Hurst Review online, which are actually online lectures and then I went and did the corresponding questions in the Saunders book. I also did many of the Saunders questions on the CD. All of the questions in the book are on the CD, but there are many more questions on the CD. If you need a review/reinforcement of the material from nursing school I think that something like the Hurst Review is good if you have the time and money. I really liked the Saunders questions because it is only after answering questions is when you begin to see where your gaps are. I have seen in some of the different threads where they have stressed making sure you go over the rationales in the Saunders book, and I really think that part makes the book priceless. It was very time consuming to do and some days I could only get through about 100 questions and rationales. I often went through the rationales of the questions that I got right, and I think it was very helpful. I would also recommend doing lots of prioritization questions. There was one book in particular that was recommended by someone in one of the threads. I actually did not do the prioritization questions that came with the Hurst Review, and I could have kicked myself when I was taking the NCLEX because there were many questions like that...and I don't like being surprised. If you don't have the Saunders book I would definitely recommend getting it, and they have an online review course associated with the book that is more cost effective than an in-person review. Additionally, the NCLEX review by NCSBN is supposed to be pretty good and it is not too pricey either. Good luck to you.

I am doing the same thing. I am taking the live Hurst review course with the online component. When I get home after the lectures I do the Saunders and ATI questions that correspond to what I learn. I am seeing my scores for both Saunders and ATI double. So far I like the review but I am not relying on it alone. I am doing about 100 questions each night to help reinforce what I learn.
