If you do some reading in the NCLEX forum you might find that many people give favorable recommendations for the Hurst review.

I have been using NCLEX 4000 to practice for boards...How similar are these questions to NCLEX questions? Is this good preparation.
Also, next week I will be attending a HURST review...How big of a help is this review usually? I know they claim it to be the best thing since sliced bread, but would like to hear from others who have taken it!

hello, i am using NCLEX 4000 together with the Saunders 5th edition book for my content review. I do it simultaneously by topic. I have used the study mode in NCLEX 4000, and the study mode also in saunders cd. But i have read all the pages of the book. After reading the book, i took the quiz per chapter. Then i have nclex cram review book as well which is a good content book to back up the saunders. After reading the contents of all those, i did the exam mode. A week before my exam, i bought the nclex cram practice questions. I did it twice in the book and cd. It greatly helped me especially the cram sheet which i brought along with me before my exam date.

Two days before my exam, i read the hurst must read notes. then pray , pray, pray. I did my prayers before my studies.

I passed , just recently saw my name in the BON. I owe all of these to St. Joseph of Cupertino, ST. therese, St. Anthony, ST. .Jude, Sacred heart of Jesus, Holy Child, Holy Spirit , our Lady of Good studies, and St. Francis Cabrini.

Just be consistent with your studies and pray...God will surely help you along the way. Good luck:)

WOW! How long is everyone studying for NCLEX? Sounds like several months!

I just graduated last night, am taking the Hurst Review next week & hope to take the NCLEX by the end of the month...Am I rushing it?
