I have both Hurst and the NCSBN course and I like Hurst content so much more. The content is easy to understand and it sticks. I agree with the above post, NCSBN content is too broad, the questions...
Hello Everyone, I am a new graduate nurse, still waiting to take my NCLEX but I have accepted a position at a hospital in the ICU floor. The orientation is 12 weeks, with 3 of those weeks in the...
Hi Andre I have the Hurst videos (a friend gave them to me) so I don't have the 5th day material. I do love Hurst and their content, I find that I'm getting better at the content. But for the 5th day...
The same thing happens to me. I may do really well on one section in a test, then do really bad on the next test. I think its important to look at how many questions did you get from a certain area...
Thanks for the website. I actually stumbled upon this website when I was preparing for my interview and the notes are great. It is really helpful. I will try to read more of the topics before I begin...
I am also using Hurst to study for NCLEX. I was using Saunders and found it to be awesome but too much info so I stopped reading it (I knew I wasn't going to be able to read the whole thing). I feel...
Hi guys. I've started studying for my nclex and have many resources so I'm kind of feeling overwhelmed and confused about what to do. I did Kaplan course and I didn't really care for it so I'm not...
Did you feel like the Hurst videos weren't detailed enough? I was also reading Saunders but it's too long and detailed. I loved the Saunders though. I don't know if I have time to watch the content...
I just find their content videos so boring and can't sit through them. I am watching Hurst (did you try this one before?) And I love it and will finish soon. I'm still using Kaplan questions and will...
Thanks for your reply. I will always jump in when I can. I did that in clinicals and I never regretted it. The nurses loved me because i wanted to do everything that they didn't want to do lol. Great...
Congratulations. SO Saunders did help a lot along with Hurst? Did you feel like their questions were similar to NCLEX or easier? Im watching Hurst videos now and I love how they break down the...
THANK YOU everyone for your responses. I will definitely follow up on all of them to make the transition easier. I am scared but excited and I just want to be ready for what comes with this job. I...
I think the clinical questions are based on nursing knowledge. They know that you are brand new, no experience, so they will ask you things that are basic and that most nurses students should know....
I just interviewed there two weeks ago. It was a great experience. You will be interviewing with many people and you'll be waiting a lot. First, you'll be interviewed by the nurse recruiter or an HR...
I think if you read different posts here they will all tell you the same thing: Kaplan scores can mean anything. Some people do great on the trainers and still fail, some people can do horrible and...
Thank you so much for your reply. I actually looked at YouTube yesterday and found her video and immediately downloaded her notes which are awesome to look at on spare time. I'm glad I found her. And...
Can you tell us more about how you prepared? I'm taking my test mid Feb and I just started using Saunders and I love it. I also have access to Kaplan but don't like their content as much. Did u only...
I would say make sure you know your labs, Maslow's , psychosocial stuff, and anything that really needs memorization. Two more days and the torture will be over. You sound ready. Be confident. Good...
Wow that's almost exactly what I'm doing. I love the Saunders (I'm sure the info is not that much different from the newer edition) and the information is sticking. I do find the questions that come...
Is kind of late to do kaplan since your exam is Thursday. I would just keep doing questions and brush up on things that you missed from those questions. Good
I took ATI as part of my school exit exam. It was good. I think it depends on the person who's teaching the class. They go over a lot of questions and teach from the answers. They also open up a lot...
They have a terrible passing rate and the education was not the best. They are on probation for 2 years now so they were doing exit classes and trying to "help" us by having weekly classes with...
