I done all 3! I take NCLEX next week, but I will give you my opinion on all of them. Hurst is really good if you need a content review. Do I feel like it helped me when it came to studying content? Yes. I also think it helped me come up with ways to remember topics better. For example, thinking of calcium and magnesium as having a sedative effect on the body. Too much ca and mg= sedative not enough= hyperactivity. I wouldn't recommend Hurst if you feel good about content and just need strategies to answer NCLEX style questions. You get 6 125 question test that you can only take 1 time with Hurst. The rationales aren't very good on some of the questions. Kaplan was great for me. You get a ton of practice questions and some great strategies for answering questions. I really like Kaplan. The fact that all their questions are supposed to be equivalent to higher level NCLEX questions gave me some confidence. The rationales are nice, too. The NCSBN review is a review by the people that write the actual NCLEX. It is one of the most affordable reviews out there. The questions are not that hard (no where near as difficult as the Kaplan and Hurst questions) but you really can't go wrong when it comes to buying a review from the people who actually write the test. I also have been using Lacharity, Saunders 6th edition, and PassPoint by PrepU. I personally feel it is important to know the content, but there is no possible way to know every topic that is going to be on NCLEX. It's just impossible. When you have a short time to review you really aren't going to learn much about things you didn't already know, either. I have always heard to review you weak topics and take practice questions like crazy!
