Hi all,
I am graduating in December and have a job lined up to start in February. Of course I am so blessed to have an offer before graduation but it adds so much extra pressure.
I took Hurst back in May just to see what it was like and I enjoyed the set up. I am very content weak I feel so it will be good for me along with questions. I am thinking of purchasing UWorld once I graduate and start studying.
My question is I want to make the most out of my studying with what little time I will have since I work as well. How did yall study using Hurst? What worked for you? What did you supplement questions with since they don't have a ton of questions. Any input would be great. I am starting to really get nervous about NCLEX.

Hello! This is what I did that worked for me. I watched all Hurst videos and filled out the hurst review book a couple months before the exam. Then I would go back and study the book several times. I would also listen to the audio or rewatch a video in my weaker areas. I wanted to rewatch all the videos but I ended up not having enough time. I used Uworld to practice questions. I would try to do 50-100 questions in a day almost every day. I usually did about 60 in a day so I could slowly review every rationale to every question. That really helped me. I did about 1400 questions of the Uworld q bank. Those questions really really helped. I also did a few chapters of the priority delegation in the lacharity book. That book was good too but I was running out of time. I really loved Uworld! Good luck and congrats on your job offer.
Thanks Followingfootsteps! I am really nervous about how to make a good study effort. I am going to start reviewing the book and doing questions as soon as I am pretty much done with all the hard stuff in my semester. I will take another live hurst review in January and watch the videos. How soon after you graduated did you take NCLEX?
