Hey All,
I've just finished nursing school. My school has recently added in a "bootcamp" NCLEX class, that occurs after pinning. At first I was really excited-the school that I transferred from used a great outside source that really helped the students. However, I've recently found that THIS school does not-they are using the same professors that have been with us, and they are not using a curriculum from a outside source.
This upsets me, because they had us pay an extra 200 in our tuition for this, which was money I could of put to my own class, or even UWORLD. I'm tempted to not go, it comes at a very bad time and I could put that time to much better use.
What do you think??

you already paid for the course, so do it. if you trusted your instructors to get you eligible to take the exam why wouldn't you trust them to get you ready to pass it? You can always study outside of the boot camp, you can always take more time to study other materials all you want.
you paid extra for this because you are getting extra instruction, professors don't work for free. but not going to the pre-paid class is foolish.

What's your school's pass rate like? If it's higher than the national average, they must be doing something right, and I would totally go for it either way. Any practice is better than none.
