Hurst Online Review...other review courses

[ManyRN2B]

Hello. I'm new and have a question about review courses. I'm getting ready to graduate in May, BUT I have to take an exit exam for school that I feel like I'm not prepared for.

We are the first graduating BSN class from this school and our education hasn't been the best (IMO). I feel like I need a review course dealing with content review. I read the Kaplan exam book and it has great test taking strategies. I don't think Test taking is my problem, content is.

I plan on taking the Hurst review online and wanted to know if anyone else has taken her online review and what they thought.

My school friend is set on taking Kaplan. Which is fine for her but I feel for me, I need a content review course not a billion questions over over. I can do that on my own for less $$$.

I plan on taking the online because our exit exam is 4/19 and no time for a live review or else I would take it. I may take the live review after I graduate.

Our exit exam has us all scared and stressed. We have 2 tries to pass and if not, we don't graduate!!! They just told us this in January! How nice huh? It sickness me to go 4 yrs of school, only to be told ONE exam decides if I will graduate. I'm a good student, Honor society, 3.5gpa but we had a NLN diagnostic exam in December in which 99% of class failed. I got a 60%. The highest grade was 69% in our class!! Eekess!!

Enough babbling. Any tips on exit exams would be greatly appreciated. Hurst "online" review feedback would be excellent too!!! Do you think hurst is guided more towards content or test taking?

I'm an aspiring LVN hehe that sounds funny, and I failed my nclex-pn the first time and I was wondering do you think the Hurst Review would help me? I'm self studying and its hard, lots of distractions and so many places to go.....you know. Im struggling still with facing the fact that I didn't pass but nursing is my passion, I've wanted to become a nurse since I was a young girl, but I'm not rich, and this review is pricey so let me know? Is it really worth the price and also for LVNs?
