Hello,

I wanted to register online for a review in preparation for the nclex exam, but I need help on deciding which is better reviewer online. Can anyone please tell me which is better among ncsbn, hurst or kaplan as a reviewer? I would really appreciate any inputs anyone can give me about this matter. Thanks.

I am currently taking the online Hurst review and I love it. It makes everything so simple. You can do a search on here for Hurst review and it has pretty positive reviews overall, which is a big reason I am using it now. I can't speak on the other reviews but I can tell you that if you have the $300 it costs, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. Hopefully I'll take my NCLEX late May or early June. Good luck to you.

It depends on what you need more help in. If you need help in content go with HURST or Saunders. If you need help with strategy and eliminating answers go with Kaplan.

Thanks guys, I will be reading more so I can decide what to do next. Kaplan, Hurst or NCSBN grr.. it's really confusing, anyway I hope to read more on what others say as well. I really appreciate it. Good luck to all.

Advice i have bought all three and now am studying for the 4th time to take the Nclex Rn and kaplan seems to be the best explanation. Hurst is good because she explains core content but Kaplan gives you exact strategies on how to best answer. Going crazy because my test date is coming up soon and leaving everything in God hands but studying :)

Thank you all, I think I will just go and try NCSBN for 3 or 5 weeks. Besides, I will not only rely on what review they can provide me, of course I will be reading other books too. For now, I have Saunders 5th edition, flashcards, nclex-rn made ridiculously easy, and other review materials available here on net like nclex 4000 and 3500. Having all of this I think I will be fine as long as I will do my part in preparation for any exams I need to take. All in all, it is overwhelming but I will do what I can to prepare. So, good luck and God bless to everyone who will take there nclex as well. :loveya: :nurse: --;-;{@

Hi) Kaplan is the best for strategy. I've heard about Hurst. But I'e never took it by myself.

I love to read the materials which are having great reviews in allnurses. Although, there is only much information my brain can absorb and remember . I appreciate everyone's input. Besides, even a genius person needs second opinion so, that tells me I will need more than two ideas to come up with a conclusion. Thank you all and good luck.:p
