Kaplan or Lippincott????

Lippincott was the way to go for me. There are sooooo many questions plus it came with an extremely helpful CD. Took the NCLEX once and passed with 75 questions.

I didn't go to any Kaplan review classes. Just reviewed the whole Lippincott book. GREAT REVIEW BOOK!!!! I recommend it 100%.

Good Luck on NCLEX.

I went to 1 Kaplan meeting. That was it! I thought it was a waste of time. I studied with Saunders at home and passed with 75 questions...i used lippincott for my lvn though and passed with 85 ..so i would recommend it

A nurse at work who recently passed just told me the exact thing last night.

Hi Monie. I used these CDs and found them helpful: Smith, NCLEX3000, Saunders, and Kaplan CD trainer. And the Hesi is good for review of your knowledge base too, it comes with a disc and tells you your probability of passing NCLEX, however, you can only use the disc a total of 5 times. Good luck, get 'em next time.
