I really think it depends on how you learn and what your school was like. It never hurts to do one of the big review courses, but honestly I think most people don't need them. They're just an added level of comfort or insurance. I think taking your NCLEX so soon after graduating is a great idea. You'll have all your info still fresh in your mind and will still be in "school and test" mode.

Some will take this post negatively, and if you do then I'm sorry - I'm just trying to do my part to maybe help reduce the stress of some of the upcoming test-takers. I just took my NCLEX on Tuesday. 75 questions, 34 SATA, and I have to be very honest - the exam was far easier than anything I encountered in my last year of school. This might not be the case for some people, but I know that I can't be the only one who went to a school that administered difficult exams. Since I'm in Florida my license # went up on the BON website already and I already know that I passed. I'll keep this short and sweet. If you're still going to take the test soon, don't turn it into a boogeyman! It's just another exam and you might be pleasantly surprised. Just study as if it were any other NS exam!
