Medstar Refresher Course?

Published

Hey there everyone, first time poster, long time lurker. So I just passed the NCLEX (YAYYYYY!!). But it seems taking a refresher course may be needed for me since here in Arizona after 2 years at the time of licensure a refresher is needed. Still waiting to see If I make the cut off (passed the day before LOL) but I'm trying to prepare myself just in case. 

So my question is, does anyone have any experiences with the MedStar program? It's online until the clinical which I like. Can anyone say what the course was like, how to prepare for exams, how tough was it compared to nursing school? I'm just anxious that I may have to take more exams, I'm so tired of them LOL. Thanks in advance to everyone who responds!

I've done the program. What do you want to know?

Did you receive your official RN license? How hard was the med math exam? I am currently about to take it. Was the syllabus hard to follow/understand? Are there other students we can connect with? Sometimes I just feel extremely lost following the syllabus and I know its common sense, straight forward. Thank you for responding to me! How long did it take you to complete theory and clinical together?

Math exam was simple, nothing compared to nursing school.  You have 3 attempts to do it I believe. I didn't have trouble with the syllabus. If you have any questions, the instructor usually replies fast. It took me about 5 months in total because I kept putting it off.
