NCLEX Prep: Class or Online?

[UCCRN2008]

Hi,

My name is Deanna and I will be graduating from nursing school this summer. I am starting to think about what I need to be doing to prepare for the NCLEX and I have been wondering what would work best for me, taking a standard NCLEX review course or taking an online course. I have two young children and my fiancee works 70+ hours per week and I am hoping to take the NCLEX as soon as possible after graduation so my fiancee can leave his horrible job. I was hoping that someone had some experience with either, or both, of these prep courses and could give me some advice.

I'd recommend saving your money by going to Barnes and Noble and buying the Saunders review and studying the CD. I used it and passed with 75 questions

Thanks, I've heard alot about Saunders Review, I'll look into it. I have one NCLEX review book by Smith, but it wouldn't hurt to have another especially if that one is better.

i would at least invest in the kapplan Q bank, the format of question is the same. its the only reason i passed. Saunders questions are nowhere near as hard and give you false confidence.
