Rayfield Review?

Mytonezucs · Feb 13, 2008

This is just my opinion. I went through the course at my school. Very general recap of material . An instructor guides you through a book.

When you get out of school there's a lot of hype to take these review courses. They're all promoted as guarantees to success. Everybody takes them. I took Rayfield and another one that starts with an H.

Think about it. Two years(or more) to complete nursing vs A few days or weeks in a review course. I'm not trying to put down these courses but to put into perspective what they are. Review, not guarantees.

I can't knock the courses because they are good reviews but NCLEX goes more deeper and off the wall than the two courses I've taken.

I failed the first time and since then have made Saunders the core of my studies. The review book and questions book.

I think I put too much time into content and little time into practice questions. I can't stress enough how inportant it is to practice looking at a question and thinking. That's what NCLEX is about.

Again this is only my experience. Others may differ.

Good luck.

The Hurst review takes you through a core content and gives several tips and strategies to answering questions (they actually work!). They have lots of practice questions and they go through a mock nclex test and tell you WHY each answer is wrong or right. That really helped out a lot!
