this is my 5th time to take the nclex. ive tried reviewing with kaplan on my 1st try (i stopped @ 75q's but failed), reviewed with feuer and saunders for my 2nd and 3rd (and still failed), and last year, for my 4th try, i just did questions from saunders (stopped @ 90q's, confident to pass coz i was working as an LPN, thought that i had enough knowledge on what i was testing on but still failed). now im on my 5th try and worried as hell on how to review again and how to build my confidence that i will pass this time. i am debating if i should take kaplan online course, or focus on questions on lippincott, or go cover-to-cover on saunders comprehensive review???? i am soooooo thirsty to get the R.N. title for myself and my family, esp for my baby girl:redbeathe. i graduated 2006 from the Philippines, i have no issues with English as a 2nd language. i know i suck on pharm esp on side effects and etc of meds. i havent done the Suzanne's plan coz i dont know if i can commit to it. i just dont know where and how to start. i heard about raising the passing rate last year, i dont know if it affected my test-taking last year. whew... i have alot of issues! I NEED HELP!
I was reading your post and got very excited to give the hurst review a go.
Unfortunately, it looks like it can be done only if you are in the US and I am not. At the moment I am gathering my paper work to recieve my ATT and soon as I receive it i will apply to sit the test but in the meantime I have to study hard. I have been out off the profession for three years now and I realise that I am forgetting the material.
Could you please help me find out if I can do the hurst review outsite the US?
I live currently in Australia.
Thanks in advance and I am looking forward to receive a message from you.
Cheers

i think you can purchase the online review or the dvd since it can be purchased by anyone, anywhere in the world. that's what i think since we're using the internet anyways.
