Hey everyone!
I'm looking for a few responses to see if I want to spend my $200 and change on a review course or if I should spend it on myself.
All my high stress nursing buddies are definitely taking the course, but I am iffy about it.... so I'd like some input.
Thanks in advance,
Reb
I took several review books & met with a friend for a few days in May after Graduation. We mainly hung out at the pool in her housing development, went swimming, and relaxed. Took the NCLEX July 3, and it cut off at 86 questions. Other than that I only used several CD NCLEX review. I passed.
I took a review course and passed first time but only because I didn't have to pay for any of it and it was a week out of town. The hospital I went to work at paid all, hotel,meals etc. We ate big every night and left early during the day and went shopping. Had a real nice time. I didn't study and we napped during the review in the am (because of the nights before). This was also the dark ages when the test was taken with a pencil over 2 days.
If you study too much for NCLEX you get frazzled and the old brain clogs up. Be careful.

I did not take a review course...took the NCLEX while taking Percocet for an ORIF of my right ankle that had been done two weeks prior...passed the first time. I would take the money and have a great time on something fun!!!
