While I was studying I made a study schedule. I would study the content of a 3-4 topics a day and the next day I would study the meds that pertained to those topics and then do 50 questions on each topic. I used the HURST for content and NCLEX 4000 D...

I also passed with 265 on 7/23/2015, I was there for 5.5 hours!!! I was so thankful I brought food and water. I also suggest for people to just go into it expecting to get all 265 so when it doesn't shut off at 75 you're not let down or end up starvi...

I know they travel around and host the classes in various states so I would look on the website or call. Also all the videos are online so maybe you can just watch those and order the manual to go with it. My school set it up and paid for us to take ...

I'm terrible with meds and feel the same way about them, how the heck I was supposed to know all this crap? I only memorized a couple key things on each classification and wasn't even confident on those few things. On my NCLEX I got all 265 questions...

I did the HURST review, it was 3 days in a classroom and a 4th day watching videos at home. Tons of content and it didn't take much time. Also, I passed my first time and that was the only review I did. Good Luck!

I can't remember the exact date I sent it out but it was the beginning of April and I graduated May 18, our transcripts were sent out from the school June 2 and I received my ATT June 11. Also I sent my application overnight, cost $5 but was well wor...

I tested July 21st and I did the PVT. The key is to wait 24 hours, your test has to be reviewed by someone so if you do the PTV before 24 hours it could be incorrect if the person reviewing it changes the results. I passed and I got the good pop up a...
chelsieblondie replied to MsAshley's topic in NCLEX
I thought that the review content was okay, very basic. On my NCLEX I was asked SEVERAL questions that weren't in the HURST review manual and I had that thing memorized! I think what helped me pass was doing tons of questions. The HURST questions are...

I sent my application via snail mail so I didn't have the issue of when I graduated. My application was partially approved before I graduated, I received a letter saying that I was missing my transcripts. So I graduated, my school sent the transcript...

I'm in Ventura, Ca (So-cal) and graduated in May. I sent my application (via mail) the beginning of April and I was approved June 11. Other classmates are randomly getting dates while the majority sent theirs out in May and still haven't received the...

When I read a question I think about everything that has to do with it (signs, symptoms, meds, teaching exc.) BEFORE I read the answers. There's always a distraction answer in there to throw you off which can make it more challenging if you weren't s...

I just passed and I also had 265! I was certain I failed too haha I do have a bit of advice, turn off the icon that lets you see what number you're on. I was so focused on what number it was and that really messed with my head. I kept counting down t...
Yesterday I took the NCLEX for my first time and I got all 265 questions. Of those questions there were several I had no idea as to what the disease or medication was. I'm wondering if anyone has tips on how to answer a questions that you don't know ...

I know we're not supposed to know high level from low level questions but I had this really interesting experience and I haven't seen anyone on here talk about it. Somewhere in the 100s there became a pattern! I would get 2-3 questions that to me wer...
chelsieblondie replied to chelsieblondie's topic in NCLEX
I'm assuming I failed since I took the max amount of questions, I ended on an 'easier' questions and had to guess on several. I'd like to retest ASAP so I want to start studying ASAP :)
Hello all of you amazing nurses! I'm taking my NCLEX-RN in 2 weeks and I'm studying the HURST review and I'm wondering how close those practice questions are to the actual NCLEX. I keep seeing that the Kaplan questions are very similar so I'm wonderi...
