This is so awesome! Congrats! I give you major props for never giving up - even after 4 times of taking it!! That's amazing!
I take my NCLEX for the first time on Feb 27th (a couple of weeks away). I too have used HURST for content and am currently working on the Kaplan QTrainers and QBank!
Did you memorize the entire Hurst workbook? What I did was watch each video at least twice sometimes three times (for the topics that I have difficulty with like Cardiac and endocrine). After the first time I watched the video, I filled out the section of the book that went along with it. The second time I watched the video, I read through the notes. I then reviewed the section, a third time to go see if I can lecture on it by myself (without or with minimally looking at the notes). How did you do on the QReview questions? I haven't done them yet and was wondering when would be a good time to do them? The week before the exam?
Now, I'm just working on answering the Kaplan q's. I aim to do at least 100-150 q's a day. And I hope this method of preparation will allow me to pass!
Greetings!
Thank you! I recommend that you just stick to KAPLAN for your questions it is in the NCLEX format. Also, I remembered Hurst Review content by listening to it over and over again and basically teaching it to friends. I also read more about the areas I was unsure of. Such as Cardiac Rhythms and the different types of medication used to correct each issue. . . . For example what does a stroke look like on a telemetry strip? I had no idea so I looked it up. Digging beyond what has been "given" to you on Hurst is a must. I believe the questions Helped me tremendously! I did 200-300 Kaplan questions Daily! Practice as if you will have to sit for the WHOLE exam (builds endurance).
