is hurst nclex review rn worth it?

I took the hurst review, and if you feel that you need a content review this is a great option. I loved it. They really broke down the information and made it easy to remember. Definitely worth the money!

I really liked the Davis NCLEX review book. I thought those practice questions were really good, and similar to how strange the questions can be. I also would recommend the Prioritization, delegation and assignment book.

I think if you really focus on these things they will help you. The Davis book has A LOT of questions. A whole book full, and a CD for the computer.

Another resource I used was on the NCSBN website. They have a 3 week program that is 50$. It has sections with some information, and then post tests with questions.

Hope this helps!

I took my PN NCLEX in July and I live in Arkansas. Honestly, I'm not sure if it's any different because you are a foreign but I do know it took about a week for the background check and my ATT was 4 days! Where will you be testing? Little Rock? Fort Smith? Texarkana? Have you decided yet??

yeah thats what i read,,that they are not more into content..i got the kaplan book for the strategy then im probably gonna go with hurst,,cause its more affordable and i really think i need the more on content review since its been 2 yrs already that im out of school..so theres a lot of cobwebs on my brain :))
