I am in florida right now, is the review center you are talking to in here in america? Have you tried to see the bon website to check if you pass or fail?

Hi Guys, I am new to this site, I took my NCLEX-RN last December 7 and and I failed ! I have finished reading my Saunders 5th edition and Kaplan 2011-2012, I don't know what else should I do. I told my husband that I want to try the hurt review live class, anyone who tried this? Is this a good idea or not? Thanks in advance! By the way I am taking my exam from Florida board of nursing and I am a graduate from the Philippines batch 2009. Your suggetions will be so much appreciated! Thanks so much!

How did you study? Did you take a review class? I'm taking Kaplan right now and will be taking my second NCLEX this January.

I am trying to figure out which review class is good, do you have any idea? I am now doing 3500q's and cd rom of saunders! How do you study?

Thanks you, I am really desperate to pass! I am not used to doing exams for several times! :crying2: , what do you study? do you take any class?

Take Kaplan!! I know it's expensive but it's really worth it. Their strategy works wonders. The first time I took the NCLEX, i just studied Saunders the 5th edition. Read the entire book and answered questions there. I failed. But now I took the Kaplan cuz my friends recommended it and they have passed the NCLEX because of it. Haven't taken my exam yet so I can't say it worked for me yet, but so far...I'm answering questions more correctly.

I really think that us foreign grads (I graduated from PH too), really need a review class period! We need guidance and not just books.

How much did you pay for kaplan and how long is the review course? do you take the live or online class?

rodmarkq · Dec 13, 2011

$420 cuz it was Thanksgiving and they had a discount lol. The review course is 2 weeks but also you gain additional online stuff such as Qbanks and Question trainers. They're all NCLEX type questions...harder than nclex in my opinion.

I took the online, it's just as good. No need to drive and they have more available dates for online than live.
