I was just wondering if anyone has taken the NCLEX Kaplan Course? If you have, do you think the course prepared you for the exam?? Any suggestions before I take the course next week?? Thank you for your help in advance.. :saint

I studied from a variey of different books and I have to say that the Kaplan book was the best at teaching me how to read the questions. I took a course from Meds publishing and wasn't extremely impressed. I also bought some audio tapes to listen to in my car--they were better than the class because I could review them whenever I wanted--they cost less also (got them on ebay for $20--20 audio cassettes and a cd rom).

I took the Kaplan course. I was lucky that my hospital paid for it. I would recommend it as it tells you how to take the test. You of course need to know your content, but Kaplan gives you strategies which will serve you very well when you take the test. I took the course and then took my NCLEX a week later. Ended up passing - so it was all good.
