Has anyone been out of school more than 3 to 10 years and successfully passed the NCLEX on your own. I have taken a break from nursing and have decided to return. What is the best source to use? I do not intend to take a refresher course because I know I can do it on my own. I passed the LPN test last year on the first try studying on my own, but the RN is much tougher and I need advice on what book or books to use.

michelle.laree 50 Posts May 1, 2009 Kaplan review course is awsome! Once I sat down and started the NCLEX all my fear disappeared; I felt like I was at home doing a Kaplan test. Kaplan has practice questions and practice tests that are VERY similar to the NCLEX.
