I'm a 2012 graduate, where to begin...

Published

Hello everyone!

So long story short... graduated from school 5 years ago, took the NCLEX and bombed it twice... life happened and I pushed nursing to the side... no matter how successful I am in everything else in my life, a part of me feels empty... I miss nursing!

Been trying to figure out where to begin again... I live in a small town and my resources are very minimal... so online classes or tutoring is ideal... giving myself give or take 3 months... and any recommendations is welcomed...

thankyu for for your time...

Specializes in Emergency.

UWorld and Kaplan worked very well for me. Given that you graduated a while ago, the board may require you to take a refresher course. I would check the requirements in your state.

You definitely need content so I would suggest a heavy content review like Hurst...Kaplan is more questions and less content..Uworld is really good for both content and questions...Good Luck!!!

The Saunders comprehensive review book provides a great summary of all the content in my opinion. That and UWorld which this site seems to rave about.
