My license is officially posted to the Texas BON website! I passed the NCLEX (1st try, took it two days ago!).
I'm kind of embarrased to admit that I didn't study nearly as much as everyone else seems to be doing. I purchased the Hurst review and watched a few of the videos (probably 5 or six) and did one of the practice tests. That was all I did--- and I'll tell you, it gave me a lot of anxiety when I was sitting in that testing room. I don't recommend not studying for that reason, alone.
I had somewhere around 85 questions (give or take). All of the classmates I've been in touch with have passed, and the number of questions for them have been all over the map, 75, 80s, 90s, 100's and 200's. DON'T be a counter watcher. I think that also contributes to the anxiety.. I tried really hard to ignore it (that's how I don't know exactly where mine shut off.. lol).
Don't over do it y'all. Go with your instincts.. Good luck!

congratulations moon child 86 what is the difference between hurst review book and a workbook is it the same.
i am thinking to take the review course but really confused which course should i take .
It's the same course as the one you take in person, only you're doing the whole thing online. Instead of sitting in a classroom, you watch all the lectures on video, and print out the workbook to do along with the lectures. There are 6 practice exams. It's about $50 cheaper than doing the 'in person' course.
