I can't speak to the differences between the old content guide and the new one, but there's a free Kindle version available on Amazon. Worth the download. :)

I am also an internationally educated nurse who just passed the NCLEX last week on my first try. I have just posted a long thread about my prep methods if you are interested in reading it. You can do this. Don't be discouraged. You have a good amount of time to study and your experiential knowledge will definitely be an asset to you as it was to me.

I primarily used the HESI Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination

I would suggest Kaplan Bcuz after doing everything the instructor taught me and taking all of the required tests and the qbank, I learned the strategies.. I took the boards and passed in 75 questions... The boards and Kaplan are 99% alike...

I took Kaplan. My school paid for it. I used the Kaplan NCLEX study books. I Googled NCLEX Cardiology, NCLEX pharmacology, etc that that was a BIG help. I set hours to study AND hours to relax and spend with my kids. I studied with a partner to hold me accountable.

You can do this. Just do it.

Hi everyone,

I am also trying to decide on the best review to take. I just failed the NCLEX in June and would like to take it again in August. I finished nursing school in Canada 2 years ago and passed my Canadian boards on the first try. I now see that the NCLEX is very different so I guess I need to really brush up on my content and also my US-pharm knowledge.

I would really appreciate any suggestions as I am trying to decide between the Hurst and Kaplan live reviews. (I learn better in a c

live setting).

Any advice and is there anyone out there doing one of the reviews right now?
