Either are good, particularly if you do your part. Good luck.

I did both and found them both helpful in their own way.

HURST: Easy to understand concepts but not big on content. I did not use the HURST review questions. Yet, I passed the NCLEX-RN without them.

KAPLAN: Great for review questions (Qbank)

If I had to choose between the two, I'd go with KAPLAN.

Good Luck!

I have taken Kaplan and doing Hurst now.

Kaplan i think is good just for the questions but I like Hurst better because you get the material down good.

The way I see it, whats the point in doing questions and using the decision tree that Kaplan offers if you dont know all the material well.

This is just my opinion.

I did Kaplan. Not the five day course, but the online program, and it's wonderful. My school provided it for us so I don't know how much it costs, but it's great. Lots of questions, tests, and review videos/lectures that are wonderful especially if you've been out of school for a while and what to refresh on topics without spending hours reading about them.
