Hurst and then Kaplan

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hello friends,

I have a quetion or advise to ask,

I failed my NCLEX on the first try and now are getting back in track of studying on weak areas and what not.

I noticed that i needed some content and also strategy, so i decided to do Hurst first all lectures to refresh and then Kaplan for question strategy to prepare to retake.

Can someone tell me if they have used the same strategy and if they have, has this worked for you ?

I just reviewed the Electrolyte and Fluids and Orthopedics because i am terrible in those, and i felt like i had forgotten so much ferom school already.

Anyway, after the review i felt like i understood so much more.

Thank you

Deimys

deimysd.vigil I hope you receive the good news tomorrow!:up:

Hi Everyone!

First of all, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being SOOO supportive, I cannot explain how thankful i am of all you guys and how much support you all have given me despite the fact that we dont see each other face to face. I woke up this morning and my husband wanted me to check my quick results off course. I on the other hand felt like i was going to pass out, so i didnt want to, but he told me we had to, so i did, and right before i hit that SUBMIT button i prayed to God again and said to keep calm regardless, Unofficial Results: PASS!!!!!

So i am very thankful for all of you guys for replying with amazing thoughts and vibes, everything you guys did was exactly what helped me gain my confidence along with my family and the Lord with me on that test day. I am the HAPPIEST little thing in DENVER CO right now because i know that i fell once but i picked myself up and got back up and did it! So for everyone who is going to take it soon, YOU CAN DO IT TOO! I know you can because i did it!

My the Word of the Lord be with you the whole way through your test, stay calm, positive, and only picture the "PASS" word in your mind as you take it, you will do it!

hmahdoui:: Special thanks to you for staying the whole way and supporting me, I appreciate it, I believe you are also going to do great! I am going to stay through to see how it goes for you, but as it sounds too, you are on the right track as well and it sounds like you wll be ready when your test comes! GOod thoughts and prayers for you and all of you taking the test soon, We WILL BE GREAT NURSES!!!!

Have a blessed Saturday
