We do vitals, DTR's, clonus, and LOC q2 and I&O q4. In L&D they are 1:1 but in PP if we can have 1 other couplet if we have 1 on mag.

I think that the Hurst review is great. I feel like I wouldn't have passed without it. But it kind of sounds like you're going about answering the questions wrong. When you get a question wrong (or if it's one you got right but only guessed at it) read the rational and understand why what you picked is wrong and why the right answer is correct. If you do that you'll be able to answer most questions easily without going through each answer and narrowing it down to 2 and guessing. I didn't feel like the nclex was practical it's more about knowing how they want you to answer the question.

In order for it to work you actually have to hit submit and risk it actually charging you or it telling you that you can't register again. However, I know 2 people who have done that with cards that didn't have money on them, and it let them pay (it then told them they had insufficient funds) but when they got their quick results they actually passed. I would definitely be careful doing "the trick"

The NCSBN has a study plan. I believe they have a 3wk, 4wk, and 6wk. It's pretty inexpensive. If you can afford it I would recommend the Hurst review. That's what I used. I've heard good things about Uworld too

What do your reports from the first 2 attempts say you're failing at? Also, if you know the content, doing questions and reading the rational is more beneficial than just studying content all day. You said you read the rationales and understand why you are getting the questions wrong but are you understanding how to pick the right answer in the first place? I done the hurst review and it was very helpful with how to pick the right answer. Also, the NCSBN has study material and their questions were good practice too. If you can afford to do the hurst I would recommend it. Its just as important to know how to pick the most correct answer as it is to know the content.

I think it took mine like 6 or 7 weeks

It's good to have when you are out and can't be around your study materials. But I definitely wouldn't rely on that to help you pass

The Hurst questions are a lot like the NCLEX. It is about safety. Always remember that when you're answering a question. NCLEX wants to make sure your safe

You won't feel better until you see that result saying you passed. And you're right, I think just about everyone feels like they failed when they leave. That was the 2 most miserable days of my nursing student career lol im sure you passed. Honesly I haven't heard of anyone doing the pvt thing and getting "the good pop up" and failing. Now, I have heard of people doing it, paying $200, and passing.

I would do Hurst over NCSBN. A friend of mine done HURST and UWORLD and passed with 75 also. When you're finished with hurst, Uworld is actually what they recommend you use for more questions if you feel like you need it. I would've done that but I had already paid for NCSBN. I didn't want to have too many different study tools. I think it's good to stick to just 1 or 2 (reliable) sources. When you get too much it's overwhelming. Good luck with your studying and your exam!

I used Hurst and NCSBN. Both were helpful but if I had to pick one I'd do Hurst

They say feeling like you are unsure on the questions is a good thing bc nclex tries to give you questions that they believe you have a 50/50 chance of getting right. If you felt like you knew all the answers for sure then it wouldn't have been hard enough. If you go to the NCSBN website they have short videos that explain it. Waiting is the worst!

I used Hurst and the NCSBN review (the NCSBN I used mostly for questions I just skimmed the content). In my opinion, the Hurst review was completely worth the money and helped tremendously. The way they word things in the videos gives you triggers to remember when testing and they break things down really easily. I took the live class and filled out the book in the class, then I watched all the videos and wrote extra notes or circled/starred things I thought were important or didn't remember. Then I done all but one of the q-reviews. I then done all the quizzes on the NCSBN review and part of the first question bank. The day before the nclex I done the last q-review on Hurst. After each test I went through and read the rationales to all the questions I got wrong and the ones that I got correct but just guessed it wasn't really sure why it was the right answer. If I had to pick just one thing I would recommend doing the hurst. I don't think I would've passed without it. I I passed with 75 questions. Don't get discouraged. Take a breather, study the stuff that NCLEX tells you that you didn't do well on, and retake your test. You'll get it!
