I just passed the NCLEX and thought I'd share what I used for those anxious about the exam. All I used was UWorld.
I started out using hurst (all online), but it wasn't working for me. I'm not someone that can sit still and watch a bunch of lectures. I only watched the lectures about the topics that I felt iffy about, such as maternal & endocrine. However, looking back, it really didn't help me that much - I wasn't able to retain the information as well.
I HIGHLY recommend using Uworld. It's easy to use, the rationales are AMAZING, and it really prepares you for those SATA NCLEX questions. I recommend it for those that having trouble concentrating with long lectures and endless reading with saunders. With Uworld, I did 75 questions 1-3x a day if I could. If I had a little time, I just did 10 or 20 questions here or there. I did roughly 900-1000 questions prior to the exam. For some reason, doing questions and learning information in the rationales as a I went along was much more beneficial to me than participating in long programs like kaplan or hurst.
Just thought I'd share the experience. Best of luck to all!
