Hello, I can’t speak to Pam Bartley’s review program but I can tell you after taking the CEN and TCRN (passing both) shortly after completing each of Jeff Solheim’s review courses online, I won’t be picking up any other review courses when sitting for my CFRN. 100% worth the $ with Jeff. -AC

I would recommend leaving your hours of clinical with each class/semester due to the fact many colleges vary on required hours at each clinical rotation. I included all clinical hours after each course in my CV following nursing school and I was contacted for an interview by all 4 new grad nursing jobs I applied for. My employer later on printed the CV (with permission) and used it as an example to any CNA/PCT's asking for advice once graduating from nursing school. A few things I would recommend changing: - "Bachelors of Science with a major in Nursing" to "Bachelors of Science in Nursing" - "EHAC (Early Heart Attack Care) Certified" to "Early Heart Attack Care (EHAC) Certified." Always spell out the name of a license, certificate, or certification followed by the acronym the first time you are using it or when listing on a professional document. - "Nursing home" to "Skilled Nursing Facility" - "Improving patient care by aiding my preceptor. . . . " to "Improved patient care by aiding clinical staff using the nursing process and (name of skin assessment tool used) on assigned patient load during respective shifts." This will show that you are proficient in Assessing, Diagnosing (stating problems/strengths), Planning/Outcomes, Implementing, and Evaluating. - I would delete anything to do with a percentage. These facts can not be checked by the recruiters quickly or accurately. Your format is great and easy to read/follow. Good Luck!

There is an online TCRN course by Jeff Solheim on MED-ED Seminars. The videos within this self paced course along with the content outline that you can print out was way worth the price! Highly recommended. Not a question on the exam that I didn’t remember seeing on the study guide.

The Hurst review was honestly the best thing looking back. I had a lot of different study materials and recommendations from friends who were ahead of me in school and Hurst wins hands down. I would also recommend the NCLEX RN Mastery app on iTunes. There is an in app purchase for $30ish that was well worth it. Reading the rationals for all questions answered and not just the questions you got wrong will help a large amount as well. Keep your head up. You know the information. Good luck! ?
